Can I take whey protein before breast augmentation?

I allow my patients to continue multivitamins and whey protein. You should confirm with your surgeon, but I don't expect there to be an issue.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards

Taking a protein supplement is not likely to cause any concerns regarding your upcoming surgery. In fact, many plastic surgeons will recommend that you eat a diet that is rich in healthy protein to help you prepare for surgery. However, it’s always best to discuss any kind of supplements you’re taking with your plastic surgeon. His or her instructions are the final word on what you should and should not do prior to surgery.

Thank you for your questions. I typically advise my patients to drink protien shakes before and after surgery to help with recovery. Please check with your Board Certified Surgeon for instructions.
