Breast Augmentation on Aspirin
“At the age of 37 I had 3 cardiac drug eluting stents placed. Now at the age of 45 I would like to have 325cc breast implants placed. My cardiologist has said yes to come off Plavix 1 week before surgery but I have to stay on 81 mg of aspirin. I am waiting to hear back from plastic surgeon if he will do the surgery on the aspirin. What do you think. To risky? Would drains help prevent a hematoma?”, a RealSelf user asked.
“I definitely agree with stopping Plavix before surgery. Being on 81 mg of aspirin or baby aspirin may induce additional bruising, however, with meticulous hemostasis or control of bleeding in the operating room you would likely be able to proceed with breast augmentation. This is a question best answered by your plastic surgeon who may have had experience with patients on aspirin.”, Aristocrat’s board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani said.
