Would collagen or saw palmetto supplements fro anti-aging affect breast lift incision healing?

I’m interested in taking collagen and saw palmetto supplements for anti-aging purposes. Will these affect new breast lift incision healing? Thanks!

Dear ghdd1,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Hello @ghdd1, thank you for your question. I suggest you ask your specialist. This is because he knows what type of technique he or she used and how he or she performed the procedure and what to take that does not hinder your healing process. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. . Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

You need to make sure your supplements do not have other products that cause increased bleeding. vitamin C and zinc can be helpful for healing.
