My daughter is scheduled for nose surgery tomorrow at 9:50 am. Unfortunately, she took three ibuprofen pills without realizing she wasn't supposed to. I'm concerned if this will cause any problems or potentially lead to the surgery being postponed.
I do not believe that this will cause any issues. However, please note that responses to your question may vary. Aspirin, on the other hand, poses a different concern. This medication thins the blood to a degree where the risk of severe post-rhinoplasty nosebleeds becomes unacceptably high. I hope this information is helpful.
I recommend contacting your surgeon's office to discuss their specific guidelines. Many surgeons request that patients refrain from taking blood thinners, such as aspirin, Advil, ibuprofen, or Motrin, for a period of two weeks before and after surgery to minimize bleeding risks.
Aspirin and aspirin-containing compounds are avoided before elective cosmetic facial surgery to prevent clotting issues. Ibuprofen and related compounds can also decrease clotting and should be eliminated prior to surgery.
Taking Motrin before rhinoplasty may not usually cause a problem, but it's crucial to discuss this with the surgeon to make an informed decision.
