Should I stop taking medicine before plastic surgery?

Image
  During the consultation with the doctor, many patients ask whether they should discontinue  taking medications they normally take before getting plastic surgery. Does taking medications affect plastic surgery? Depending on the type of medications you are taking,  you may need to stop taking them before surgery.  For example, medicine like aspirin prevents blood clots.  Blocking the blood from clotting puts you at risk of bleeding during surgery.  Therefore, we advise you to stop taking aspirin-like medications 1 to 2 weeks prior to plastic surgery. Please inform the medical staff beforehand of any medications you normally take. By informing  the medical staff, you will get the best surgical results.

When can I start taking aspirin after surgery?

Image
  We advise you to stop taking aspirin-based medications 1 to 2 weeks before getting plastic surgery. Aspirin prevents blood from clotting, so there is a risk of bleeding during surgery. If it is so, when can you resume taking aspirin if you stopped taking it before surgery? It is recommended to resume taking aspirin 2-3 weeks after surgery. You can take aspirin once the treatment site begins to heal. However, the appropriate time when you can take aspirin may vary depending on the surgical site. Therefore, please consult with a plastic surgeon before deciding on taking the medicine.
