Avoiding Vitamin E Before Sugery?

August 18, 2012
Asked By:ppan

I am scheduled for a rhinoplasty in 9 days, and I was told to stop taking Vtamin E 10 days before surgery; however I see now other websites are recommending stopping 2 weeks prior to surgery. I stopped taking Vitamin E ysterday (10 days exactly before). Normally, I would take daily supplements of Vitamin E (400 IU) along with zinc, B-multivitamin and primrose evening oil. I am a little concerned about any adverse effects. Should I talk to my doctor and try to delay the sugical procedure? Thanks!
