Can I Keep Nuva Ring in for Breast Lift?

The safest and most conservative thing to do if you are willing is to take it out two weeks beforehand to prevent blood clots. 

   Any method of hormonal manipulation of birth control carries an increased risk for DVT and PE.   Performing multiple, lengthy procedures at once increases the risk.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

If you were just getting a Breast Lift, then I would say that it would actually be okay to leave the ring in place.  However, if you are also undergoing liposuction then your risk increases for clotting issues.  As such, I would then remove the ring if that is easy to do.

 

I hope that helps!

My recommendation for cosmetic procedures is to stop hormone therapy.  It is clear that the Risk for blood clots are increased. Good luck.

Dear Kateck.  Since a Nuva Ring can be easily inserted and removed, I would recommend going without at least two weeks before and after your surgery.  To further decrease the risk of blood clots after the surgery, be sure to ambulate regularly, wear stockings on your legs, stay hydrated, and finally discuss with your plastic surgeon the possible use of medications to further decrease your chances (i.e. Lovonox).  Good Luck
