Your question about edible marijuana or THC pills for postoperative pain control is intriguing. While there might be potential for this in the future, currently, the evidence is mostly anecdotal, and research literature is sparse. There's a risk of low blood pressure during the operation due to the inhibition of the body's fight or flight response system. Combining THC with narcotics, benzodiazepines, or alcohol in the early postoperative period can further lower blood pressure. Therefore, I strongly advise against mixing edible marijuana with other narcotics or postoperative pain medications. I hope this aids your recovery process,

I would advise against it if you are taking any other medications after surgery. It is always best to consult your chosen surgeon as recommendations may vary.

To obtain accurate advice and assessment, I recommend consulting with your surgeon. It is essential to seek the expertise of a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck in finding a resolution to your concern!

To ensure the safe use of medications, supplements, and vitamins, discuss them with your plastic surgeon. Choose a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
