Can I take prednisone after BBL and TT? Had a extended tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift 6 days ago but my asthma has flared up

Question

My inhalers aren't working well enough. My family doc said sometimes the tube inserted during surgery can irritate asthma and he gave me a 5 day course of Prednisone to take to clear it up but I'm scared it will interfere with my recovery.

Thank you for your questions. Sorry to hear about the problems. If the asthma flare is not that bad and you can breathe ok, then I would not take the Prednisone. If the asthma will improve on its own without it, then I would advise against it. Using steroids can affect wound healing and lead to healing problems or wound separation. If there are other medication such as inhaled steroids or other rescue asthma medications that will not have a systemic effect that would disturb the surgical healing, I would ask your doctor about those options. Also probably best to run this by your plastic surgeon to get his or her opinion.Hope this helps!
