Two to four weeks: I would recommend that you give yourself time to heal before resuming this medication. It is best to avoid mixing this with pain medication that one might be taking after surgery.

Two weeks: Phentermine can increase your blood pressure, and so you wouldn't want to increase this, and the chance of bleeding before two weeks.

Check with MD.: Best to check with your physicians to determine whether this medication is safe to take at all. If so, your plastic surgeon will guide you as to when to resume. Best wishes.
