I'm having liposuction and was told to take omega 3 and vitamin C before surgery. Is this okay?

Hello,There is no evidence that vitamins will help make you more healthy or have a better outcome after surgery. However, there is an abundance of evidence of the harm from a variety of supplements.  Unless you are malnourished, you do not need to take them. Best of luck!

If you have any questions about your surgeon's recommendations, I recommend following up with your practitioner. Each Doctor will have their preferred protocol. For best results with liposuction, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear isbelly,every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
