    Default Breast augmentation with a drug dependence?

    Has anyone had a cosmetic surgery procedure done, a breast augmentation to be exact, while they were currently dependent on a drug (street/pharmaceutical?) Please do not reprimand me or judge me. It's just a question. I know I'd have to tell my doctor everything due to the sedation methods and complications that may arise.

    On which substances are you dependent?

    I always disclose everything to my doctors. When I went to a new dentist and he was taking my history I told him about my drug usage. I do coke every now and then. I went in for a procedure and he asked me if I had done anything in the last 24 hours. I had some coke the night before and he said he was going to have to use a lower dosage of novicaine because the one normally used could cause heart failure.

    I would disclose all drug usse to your doctor. It's your life on the table.

    yup, with general anesthesia involved, you need to provide every detail of your drug use patterns to your plastic surgeon. However, be aware that since this is an 'elective' surgery, the plastic surgeon may also 'elect' to pass on your surgery. After all, the malpractice insurance premiums for plastic surgeons are ridiculously high even if the surgeon has a 'perfect record' - and can become stratospheric if actual malpractice claims are made ( i.e. the 1 in a million possibility that you could die during surgery with your family then suing your plastic surgeon ).

    Tell you doctor up front about any drug use. They generally don't care from a legal standpoint unless you're obviously intoxicated and dangerous or if you're using/dealing around children or inside their office. It can definitely make a difference in your anesthesia, post-op pain meds, and so forth. Try to abstain for a couple days prior to any sedation to minimize risks and talk to your doctor about what this safety window of sobriety needs to be. Don't be surprised if they decline to prescribe post-op pain meds, the DEA is cracking down hard on doctors for pain prescriptions right now and they'll likely view you as a higher risk of being caught abusing or accidentally over dosing and putting them in jeopardy for prescribing to you after your disclosure about your use.

    You have to be honest so they can measure the intensity of the anastesia correctly and because of possible heart problems, etc. But drug use doesn't prevent you from getting a BA.
    When I went to get my lipo done, they told me that the same day a girl almost died cause apparently she went on a coke and booze bender the night before her surgery and didn't tell them. She was a stripper and they made it a point to tell me (yay stereotypes)

    My instructions were to take NOTHING for 2 weeks before my sugery - even vitamins or advil! From my understanding this is a fairly common practice. So I'd lean towards a "no."

    ^ I agree... I had to stop vitamins, alcohol, everything for 2 weeks before (I think I actually stopped about a month before although I did have 2 drinks and 1 line about 2 weeks before at a wedding. Shouldn't be a big drama but if you can stop at least 2 weeks before and 8 weeks after it would be much better for your healing.

    I didn't touch any drugs other than my prescribed pain killer and vitamins for 3 months after. I also think that smoking drastically affects your healing so I didn't touch pot for 6 months. Im sure lots of people have smoked and had no problems but I knew if I did and something went wrong (CC) I would always wonder if it was my fault.

    Yes, I have.
    Just tell the dr everything and see what they recommend. I assure you it's not rare for a dr. to encounter a patient with a dependency - they have dealt with these situations x1000. There is no shame in it. Hugs

    Just be honest with them. They have seen/heard everything (especially in Vegas).

    Thank you for all the responses! Everyone is so helpful and supportive I am using this BA as a motivator to get off the substances. I have enough willpower this time around to get sober but it's been such a struggle. I'm keeping a positive attitude about my whole situation and I know I will get over this hurdle.

    Thanks again everyone!

    they tell you to stop smoking and stuff, too. I've had a couple surgeries and at one point I asked the doctor all kinds of nosy questions about this and he said you can still do it, it would just be better if you didn't. as for the vitamins and advil before and after, i think it's because they're blood thinners (at least the advil) and it's not good for the scar healing. don't worry, i've told them when I had to (at the time I rolled sometimes) and it was fine.

    Congrats on getting sober! You're trying and thats what counts. I was told to stop all things before my surgery including my vitamins. I would just do what everyone else has said and be honest. It's not worth it to die. Good luck!!!!

    I still have all most of my Perkies. I stopped after the 1st week cause I got tired of not being able to shit.

    youre using this BA as the motivator to get off drugs?

    why dont you get off drugs first and use the BA as a reward?
    youd be less likely to touch it coz of the guilt factor.

    just a suggestion
