Should I be concerned about complications from my upcoming breast augmentation after using garlic supplements?

Garlic has natural blood thinning properties and can increase bleeding risk during surgery. Garlic may also cause cardiac complications. Some surgeons recommend that garlic supplements be stopped 7 to 10 days prior to surgery, but some others recommend 14 days prior to surgery. Eating a bit of garlic sauce should not cause complications with your BAM.

"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.
