I was watching a video about 'risks & expected outcomes' with regards to breast augmentations & it stressed that patients should avoid taking garlic supplements -among other things- at least 21 days before surgery. I don't take supplements & I rarely eat garlic but I did have a bit of garlic sauce on Aug 29 & my surgery is booked for Sep 10. The Dr told me to stay away from blood thinners such as aspirin & ibuprofen but he never mentioned anything about garlic. Should I be concerned about this?

Answer: No complication concern with garlic for breast augmentation "Drop and fluff" refers to the fact that as the skin stretches and the muscles relax, the implants move down and out slowly – about 1 percent a day. It’ll be about six weeks before they even begin to settle down, but they’ll be close to 80 percent settled and softened at three months. Watching their progress is like watching your hair grow. You don’t see a difference in your hair growth daily, but all of a sudden you need a haircut. Be patient after surgery. Give yourself a few months before making a judgment about your surgical results. You won't know the outcome until then.
