I am having fat grafting surgery next week and I take the following supplements daily: msm powder, borage oil, vitamin e, vitamin c, alpha lipoic acid. Do I need to stop all of them? Would these supplements cause more swelling/bruising or affect results?

Answer: Fat Grafting and Supplements Thank you for your question.Many of the supplements you are taking haven't been studied well enough to determine their effect on fat grafting. I would ask your surgeon though, as every doctor has their own protocols regarding what supplements to stop and when. Best of luck!Cheers,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, Il

Answer: Fat grafting surgery and supplements? Nobody really nows the effects of supplements on fat grafting. Most plastic surgeons ask their patients to stop supplements 1 to 2 weeks before surgery. Ask your surgeon.
