Hi, this is Dr. Hourglass, and welcome to another video in our channel Superhourglass.
Today we are going to discuss: Do I need to stop contraceptive medication prior to a tummy tuck?
In this channel, we will discuss everything you need to know
for you to get the hourglass shape you've always wanted.
Welcome back!
Many patients who want to have a tummy tuck are on contraceptives.
One of the questions they commonly ask is if they need to stop taking contraceptives prior to surgery.
The answer is yes.
One of the main reasons to stop contraceptives is because it increases the risk of blood clots.
Birth control pills are the leading method of birth control in the United States.
Although they do not cause blood clots, most birth control pills do increase a woman's chance
of developing a blood clot by about three to four times.
Most oral contraceptives contain estrogen and synthetic progesterone.
Estrogen and progesterone have many effects on a woman's body.
They are the hormones that sustain pregnancy and, when given in the form of birth control pills,
imitate pregnancy, thereby preventing pregnancy.
These hormones also increase the levels of clotting factors and are assumed to be responsible
for women's increased risk of blood clots during pregnancy.
For the average woman taking birth control pills, the absolute risk of a blood clot is very small,
only 1 in 1,000 women per year who are taking birth control pills will develop such a clot.
The new patches may increase this risk even more.
The amount of estrogen absorbed from the patches has been reported to be 60 percent higher
than the amount delivered by pills.
You will need to stop contraceptives prior to surgery to minimize the risk of blood clots.
You may start retaking them 2 weeks after the surgery.
