Prunes and other foods high in salicylates before surgery - when do you recommend to stop eating them?

ro990Jan 17, 2025
I'm having septo-rhinoplasty and chin reduction done soon. 35F, generally healthy and no known issues with blood clotting etc. My only real issue has always been IBS-M (at least that's what my GP suspects).

Do you find foods high in salicylates pose a high risk of bleeding before surgery?

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. The shape of your nose at rest is pleasing; however, it appears that the support of the nasal tip is slightly flexible. This flexibility can be attributed to the moderately soft cartilage in the nasal septum and tip, where even a...

It's not clear, by looking at your photos, why you perceive yourself to have a baby face. Based on what I see, I would not recommend any interventions, surgically or non-surgically, at this time. Thank you for this question, and I hope it helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
