When is it safe to stop taking pre-workouts before surgery? Can you stop a couple days before and still be safe? Does it really need to be two weeks prior?
Answer: Supplements before plastic surgery Many supplements have been shown to contain materials that cause excess bruising and possible bleeding with operations. Since it's not possible to know the exact effects of supplements not he body and their interactions with medications and anesthesia, the safest approach is to stop all supplements 2 weeks before surgery. Most surgeons have standard recommendations about this topic, and you should speak with yours about it.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Supplements for surgery Omega 3 fats (e.g. fish oil, EFA, flax seed oil, Krill oil), NSAID's (aspirin, ibuprofen, naprosyn), Vitamin E, "blood thinners" and a whole host of supplements and medicines can cause excessive bleeding and bruising and therefore increase your recovery time. When in doubt stay away from supplements unless they are designed for surgery. I offer to my patients specific supplements that speed healing, reduce swelling, bruising and in some cases minimize discomfort (for example Bromelain, Arnica Montanum, and Vitamins designed for surgery.Bottom Line: Certain vitamins and minerals can speed healing others can cause problems and slow the process down or cause complications. If healing is going well I usually let my patients go back to their usual regimen of supplementsCheck with your doctor as only your doctor would have access to your medical history and what would be best for you. We typically allow our patients to continue their supplements 10 days post op if their recovery is going well.

Answer: When to stop supplements prior to surgery HI,Anytime you undergo a procedure where general anesthesia is involved, you need to stop taking all non-prescription medicine at least 10-14 days prior to the surgery. Supplements are NOT regulated by the FDA and there is no guarantee that what is listed on the bottle is in fact what is in the bottle. You want to make sure that there is nothing in your body that will potentially interact with the anaesthetic drugs during your procedure.Regards,Daniel Medalie, MD
