User Avatar

I am planning on having a tummy tuck procedure done before the end of October by a board certified plastic surgeon. I have always taken vitamins and minerals to keep my skin looking radiant. List of vitamins/minerals Vitamin A, C, E, Zinc, Rutin,Bromelaine, Arnica Iron Supplement- for my mild anemia I read that vitamin e serves as a blood thinner, so I would like to know how soon before surgery should I stop taking vitamin e and any other vitamin/mineral I mentioned in my list.
