I Have the Mirena Iud. is It Safe to Keep It In. Ive Had It for 2 Months?

Question

I plan to have a brazilian butt lift next yr. Im getting lipo on my stomach, sides, and back. And maybe my inner thighs just where they rub. Is it ok to keep my mirena in? I dont want it removed.

Robert F. Centeno, MD, FACS · Answer

The Mirena IUD is a new form of IUD which includes slow release hormone.  While the risk is small, hormone replacement during surgery does slightly increase your risk of a blood clot.  I typically recommend coming of any hormones two weeks prior to surgery and two weeks afterwards to be safest.  In the interim an alternate form of contraception would be in Order.  You should discuss this risk with your OB/GYN or a Hematologist to help you make the best decision.  While lipo with fat transfer is not a high risk procedure for a blood clot there is some risk any time you have general anesthesia.  Discuss this matter further with your surgeon. All the best.

Katherine Feliz Camilo, MD · Answer

I don't think there should be any reason why you cant keep it in during your procedures .

	It is important that you ask your doctor if he / she has any concerns regards that matter.

	Best wishes
