When do I stop taking my vitamins before my BBL procedure?

Thank you for your question.
You can keep taking your vitamins till the time of the procedure except for Vitamin E and herbal supplements. Do discuss this with your Plastic Surgeon and follow his advise. All The Best !

Thank you for your question! You do not have to stop taking any of the vitamins you listed prior to surgery. It is important to stop any blood thinners such as ibuprofen, fish oil, weight loss supplements, hormones, including birth control, etc. I recommend discussing specific medication instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  I normally recommend taking iron and vitamin c for 2 weeks before and a few weeks after and stopping everything else during that time.  Each surgeon will have their own recommendations and protocol they would wish for you to follow.  I would suggest speaking to your PS in regards to their recommendations.  Best of luck to you. 

We typically have patients stop all vitamins for 1 week before surgery.   The ones you specifically mentioned may be okay to continue but problems can arises with doses, especially when multivitamins are involved.

Please check with your surgeon as everyone has their own preferences. I personally would not care if you took all these supplements up until the day of surgery. Best of luck.Emile Brown, MD
