I was about to start taking fish oil and other supplements which are recommended to stop taking 2 weeks prior to surgery, so my question is: Once I have my BA how soon can I resume taking these supplements? Thanks

Answer: Ask your surgeon Before taking anything, please speak to your surgeon. They should know if it’s safe for you to do so, since they know your medical history and the medications you may be taking right now. There expertise is the only way you can be sure when it’s safe for you to start taking your supplements.

Answer: Fish oil prior to breast augmentation Fish oils can interfere with your blood clotting during surgery. I recommend my patients stop the fish oil at least 2 weeks prior to surgery and for a couple of weeks following surgery. Each surgeon has his/her protocols, and I recommend you follow the protocol of the surgeon you selected to operate on you.Trey Aquadro, M.D.Auburn, AL
