Answer: Surgery Hello and thank you for your question. Every surgeon has their own protocol for pre-operative vitamins. You are smart to think about this early. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: What vitamins should be taken before surgery and which ones should be stopped before surgery? Your plastic surgeon will provide you with a list of "do's and don'ts" prior to surgery. Personally, I do not think that any special vitamins are necessary before or after surgery. Careful attention to a healthy diet and hydration prior to and after surgery are important however. Again, a list of medications/herbs to avoid will be provided to you by your plastic surgeon. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
