Is it ok to take allergy medications before surgery?

kg34Mar 20, 2015
I am having breast augmentation surgery 3/26/15. I am currently battling springtime allergies here in Oklahoma and am miserable if I do not take anything. I had my pre op today and told my doctor I have been taking Flonase and Allegra for the last few days. He indicated that it was ok. I know I am not suppose to take any anti-inflammatory medications and Flonase has a steroid in it. I would appreciate any other knowledge as I do not want any complications during or post op. Thank you.

If they look and feel fine, they are. You should follow up with you plastic surgeon for them to examine you to make sure.

Strange sensations are normal postoperative complaints and usually involve the nipple. More sensations are either numbness or tingling or an overly sensitive nipple. Would recommend revisiting with your plastic surgeon to assure everything is ok.

Although I rarely use ultra high profile implants, it sounds like you would be happy with either implant. At 450 cc, you should achieve a very round full augmented look. Your base width will ultimately determine how much later fullness ( side boob) you really want. Ultra high will give you more...
