How soon after a facial fat transfer (including cheeks, eyes, lips) could one take Aspirin -- because it thins the blood? I also had mid-face done at the same time.

Answer: Is it safe to take aspirin after Facial Fat Transfer and mid-facelift? Hello, and thank you for your question. In general, I advise my patients to avoid aspirin and NSAIDS for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery. It is important to keep the following things in mind:1) Aspirin can thin the blood, and leads to increased risk of bruising and bleeding following surgery. 2) Your surgeon's guidelines are important, as he/she is aware of your medical history and will be able to advise accordingly. I would recommend following up with your surgeon and see what he/she advises. I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Answer: Aspirin, NSAID's and Surgery First and foremost: follow you surgeon's advice.In general in my practice, If there is a medical reason for you to take aspirin, for example prevention of stroke, and your medical doctor feels it is unwise to stop it, then I allow my patients to take aspirin or similar NSAID's before and after the surgery and just inform them that there is an increased risk of bleeding and bruising with the surgery.For all others, I tell my patients to stop Asprin 2-3 weeks before and a week afterwards.
