What Medications Should Be Avoided Before and After Breast Augmentation?
At My Cosmetic Surgery, one of the most frequent questions from patients planning a breast augmentation is which medications to avoid before and after the procedure. Following medical instructions during recovery is essential for safety and optimal results.
In general, patients are advised to avoid certain over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as some supplements or herbal products that may affect healing. It’s important to follow only the instructions given by your surgeon, since each case may differ.
After surgery, doctors provide clear recovery guidelines: avoid lifting your arms above shoulder level, driving during the first two weeks, and intense physical activity or sexual activity during the first month. Resting in a slightly reclined position may also support proper healing.
At My Cosmetic Surgery in Miami, patient care is personalized and based on experience and advanced techniques. The goal is to achieve natural, harmonious results while maintaining comfort and safety throughout the process.
