I Accidentally Took Fish Oil the Day Before Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Thank you for your question. Swelling and bruising can cause problems so if the surgeon tells you to wait, then wait. I hope this helps.

If your surgeon feels strongly that fish oil creates an operative problem the surgery should be delayed. Personally, I have no problem with perioperative fish oil.

Most likely the fish oils won't cause any bleeding problems (only in rare cases) but I usually have patients stop before surgery just to be safe. You certainly don't want any bleeding in a blepharoplasty as this can cause blindness.
