Do I need to remove my Mirena for a tummy tuck and BBL procedure?

Question

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

It is not typically necessary to remove the Mirena for a tummy tuck procedure.  The plastic surgeon will have to stratify your individual risk for these procedures.

Aramis Vega, MD · Answer

It is my pleasure to answer your question. You don't have to remove the Mirena for the tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift surgery.

Carlos Lopez Collado, MD · Answer

I do not require the removal of the Mirena for this surgery. The risk of pregnancy during your recovery period is higher than the thromboembolism that could be caused with the surgery while having the IUD.

Kiran Polavarapu, MD · Answer

Typically, I do not require my patients to remove their IUD's before surgery, but it is important to let your doctor know that it is present.

Raymond Jean, MD · Answer

From my stand point you would not have to remove a IUD for abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) or breast augmentation.  I would also check with your gynecologist.
