Is 5-HTP and ALA safe before surgery or no?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question its difficult evaluate you if the case dont have a picture,but its recommended suspend all supplements and vitamins 2 weeks before surgery

Dear Bec69202,every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

The issue is not with bleeding but with anesthesia. Ask to talk with an anesthesiologist and find out how long is at All you have to stop usually it is three days before and start 48 hrs after

Dear Bec69202,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. You are an excellent candidate for a breast augmentation.   I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!

Best,
