Tylenol is safe, but avoid medications that thin the blood and promote bleeding, such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen.
The basic answer is yes, but I would want to know what is going on that you think you need medications for, so please review your condition with your surgeon
Yes, Tylenol is fine before a breast augmentation. No aspirin or ibuprofen containing products.
Tylenol is safe before or after any surgery that you have. You should limit your daily dose of Tylenol or Acetamenophen to less than 4000mg per 24 hour period. Other typical non-steriodal medications such as Aspirin, Motrin, Alleve, Ibuprofen, etc. can make you bleed after surgery and should not be taken for at least 7-10 days prior to surgery.
Tylenol is safe to be take before surgery. Aspirin and other "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory" pain killers are not because they increase your risk of bleeding and bruising. Sincerely, Martin Jugenburg, MD
Acetaminophen will not influence your risks when having surgery. However, many over the counter products have other medications and ingredients that your surgeon may or may not approve of. You should always refer to the pre-op instructions given by your Plastic Surgeon's office and contact them before taking any new medications or supplements. Dr. Mathew Mosher
Yes, it is Okay to take Tylenol before your breast augmentation surgery. Tylenol does not cause an increase in bleeding, unlike Advil, Motrin, Aspirin,etc. which must be stopped at least two (2) weeks prior to any operative procedure.
Tylenol is usually ok as long as you are not allergic to it. It does not increase the risk of bleeding. Medications that can increase the risk of bleeding are some of the meds that you should avoid prior to surgery. This includes the NSAID's like ibuprofen.
Yes, it is safe to take Tylenol (acetaminophen) prior to breast surgery. I advise patients not to take aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medications such as Motrin (Ibuprofen), Aleve, Naprosyn, Celebrex, etc. for four weeks prior to surgery since these medications will increase your risk of bleeding.
Tylenol is a safe medication to take before breast augmentation. There are many medications which are not such as Advil and Alleve and medications such as these including all aspirin produces should be avoided for two weeks before to reduce bleeding risks. Your surgeon should review all medications you take before, including vitamins and supplementals. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd
