Rhinoplasty Revision/ Blapheroplasty Recovery... Can I Continue my New Vitamins?

I wish to have a rhinoplasty revision in April, it was October 2011 since my primary rhinoplasty and I feel that the bump is still on the bone and I wish for my nose to be a more sloped shape. 6 days after my first I had continuous profuse bleeding through my left nostril and was hospitalized, this worries me although when I had my first I had a bit of flu. I also take Procerin tablets for hairloss, should I stop taking this in advance of my surgery as will they effect my recovery?
