Yes, but.: There's no absolute contra indication to being on anxiety medication. However, it's critical you inform your surgeon of all of your current medications and the dosages so that he can determine if there's any concern about drug interactions which could lead to complications.

Yes.: Your plastic surgeon will take a medical history. Part of the history is what drugs you may be on. Together you will figure out the benefits and risks of the surgery, and if you are a candidate. He/she may have you seen by your primary doctor to make sure all is ok. Drug interactions are important, so the anesthesiologist will also be made aware.
