What Are Some Supplements to Heal Better Before or After a Tickle Lipo Procedure

I'm not looking for just quick healing but more so supplements that will help my body heal nicely after a tickle lipo procedure on my love handles, upper and lower abs. A multivitamin? Stay away from vitamin E? What about topical vitamin E on the surgical scar?

Tickle lipo and supplements

Everytime I hear that phrase "tickle lipo" I think of Elmo! Anyway, in my practice I do not suggest taking any supplements other than a standard single multivitamin. However, each doctor is different, you should check with yours.

Recovery from lipo and other surgery

A healthy diet and a multivitamin are best for healing from surgery. Ask your surgeon specifically if he/she has any other recommendations.
