I am interested in getting a mommy makeover, but afraid to stop my acne meds.
Answer: Discontinuation of medication prior to surgery is at the discretion of the surgeon and anesthesiologist.
There is probably no reason to stop spironolactone if blood metabolites are normal. Doxycycline can stain the skin if concurrent liposuction is to be performed. Again check with your surgeon.

Answer: Routine medications should be reviewed prior to plastic surgery
I don't have specific concerns regarding either of these medications, and I always review medication lists with our anesthesia staff prior to surgery to make sure they are comfortable with the medications as well.

Answer: Medications
I think you are OK to continue your medications. You may want to have your labs checks in the rare chance the spironolactone effects your electrolyte levels. Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Answer: When Should I Stop Taking Spironolactone and Doxycycline Before Mommy Makeover?
I don't see any reason for stopping the doxycycline. The spironolactone needn't be stopped either, but is can effect electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium, chloride, etc) so those should be checked before you undergo surgery to assure that the procedure is carried out with maximum safety. Discuss both meds with your own surgeon.
All the best.

Answer: Medication to stop prior to surgery
I do not believe that either of the medications that you are currently on will have a negative impact on your planed surgery. If in doubt contact your surgeon and check with anesthesia about the Spironolactone.
