I got my period yesterday. Can I still have surgery?

Many people ask about this before surgery at Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery!

That is,

My surgery date has been set, but it overlaps with my expected period. What should I do?

Because they think surgery during their period is not good, many people worry about whether to postpone the surgery date or not.

Today, Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery will answer your questions!

Women experience many hormonal changes! If it overlaps with the surgery period, it is best to postpone the surgery.

In particular, there are many hormonal changes during the menstrual period.

When hormones change, bleeding increases and hemostasis does not work as well as usual, so bruising or swelling after surgery may be somewhat more severe.

Then can’t you have surgery when you’re on your period?

Surgery during menstruation is not completely impossible, but if the surgery is large in scale, we recommend adjusting the schedule so that it does not fall during your period.

If the amount of menstruation is small, or if it is a surgery unrelated to bleeding, there is usually no major issue with proceeding as planned, but it is best to inform the attending specialist in advance before proceeding.

All plastic surgeries are best performed when you are in good condition.

To maintain good condition before and after surgery, restrictions such as no alcohol, no smoking, and no medication are put in place. Therefore, before surgery, be sure to check your own physical condition and, in preparation for recovery speed, side effects, swelling, bruising, and so on, please manage your condition accordingly.

Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery, which considers things from the patient’s point of view when planning surgery!

To help patients recover quickly, when performing large-scale surgeries, there are inpatient rooms where they can rest 충분히, and a recovery room where they can rest until they regain their strength after surgery.
