Can I take a xanax the morning of my surgery?

marissapalittiJun 16, 2015

i am getting a breast reduction tomorrow morning and i suffer from severe general anxiety and get really severe nausea in situations like this. So i just had to take a xanax so i wouldn't have a panic attack. So what I'm asking is it safe for me to take a xanax at like 6am tomorrow if my surgery is at like 8? Would it affect me going under?

Thanks for the question. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon so he may assess you in person, but I believe you will need a reduction on your right breast then a lift on both.All the best,Dr. Results

Thanks for the question. I recommend seeking a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon, if the next surgeon gives the same answer, you should be in good condition.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Insurance companies demand a certain combination of measurements and possibly photograph to determine whether or not they will cover breast reduction if at all. You can submit this yourself if you want to hasten the process.
