So I purchased vitamins to help with blood flow after my tummy tuck. My questions are, is it ok to take them after my tummy tuck and will it help with healing?
Answer: Vitamins After Tummy Tuck Thank you for the question. Assuming that these vitamins are not approved by the FDA, I would say that it is not worth it to use the vitamins that may not have any scientific evidence to support their use. Ask your surgeon first before starting any new medications around the time of your surgery.

Answer: Vitamins and other supplements should be discussed with your surgeon. There are no known benefits of Vitamins on blood flow that will be useful at this point and some supplements can be counter-productive or detrimental. If your general health and diet was good before surgery then save your money. Plastic Surgeons have tremendous knowledge about wound healing and are always looking for scientifically proven benefits of supplements before making recommendations to our patients. Share your supplement plans with your surgeon and follow their advice.

Blood flow depends on your medical history, surgical history, and possible tobacco use. It also depends on surgeon technique.
