Does taking PREP affect a Rhinoplasty?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
Hi there, I am considering a Rhinoplasty soon (havent found a doctor – any recommendations would be great!). However, I read that some medications or supplements have to be avoided before surgery such as accutane or blood thinning medication. I am on PREP for the moment, should I be off PREP before , during an dafter Rhinoplasty? Thank you
A.The medication PREP does not include “blood thinning” as a side effect therefore it is ok to continue prior to your future rhinoplasty. Consult with multiple rhinoplasty experts prior to deciding on your surgeon.
Choose your surgeon very carefully after multiple consultations based on their skill, experience, knowledge, care, and most importantly their natural artistic vision. A few great rhinoplasty surgeons are Steven Pearlman, MD (New York), Dean Toriumi, MD (Chicago), and Ari Hyman, MD (Los Angeles.) Good luck and be well.
