Do I have to stop taking contraceptives before liposuction?

I forgot to ask my doctor if I should stop taking contraceptives before the surgery. Is there a risk if I do not discontinue it?

It is wise to stop the pill at least one week before large volume liposuction as it can alter coagulation profile

Dear,
You need to stop contraceptives at least 2 weeks before liposuction. There can be a hemodynamic / coagulation problem, if you dont stop, during, and after the procedure.
