Plastic Surgery While Menstruating

It’s not unusual for cosmetic surgery patients to express concern about menstruation before undergoing surgery. This anxiety is not warranted. Menstruation has no effect on surgery and doesn't increase bleeding or increase pain levels following surgery. In some cases, patients may have taken non steroidal anti inflammatory agents for treatment of menstrual cramps. Under these circumstances, it might be appropriate to re-schedule surgery to avoid bleeding complications that can be associated with these drugs.
