Technically you canhave certain types of surgery while you have your period. When it comes to Plastic Surgery procedures however, many of our Surgeons do not recommend it. Hormone levels around your time of menstruation can increase your risk of surgical complications (haematoma) and lead to poor scarring and healing. Some women even experience an increase in natural breast size during this time—a factor that can impact the surgical decisions made for any type of Breast Surgery procedure. If your menstrual cycle is looking likely to align with your scheduled procedure date, don’t worry. Speak to your Client Manager as soon as possible so that they can assist you with the next steps to take. Alternatively, talk to your General Practitioner ahead of time, and learn how to track your period prior to locking in your procedure date. Note: the stress of surgery may impact your regular cycle. Be sure to discuss this with your Plastic Surgeon. If a disrupted cycle is due to pregnancy, your procedure cannot go ahead.
