Most allopathic physicians (MDs) are not trained or familiar with the wide variety of physiologic effects of naturopathic or homeopathic remedies available. It is true that many will have blood thinning and metabolic effects that can complicate your surgical result. However, rather than banning the whole lot, I routinely have my patients taking Arnica and Bromelain for reduced swelling and bruising. Aloe has demonstrated enhanced and accelerated recovery for many of my patients. Best to ask your surgeon and herbalist to communicate about your goals and work together for the optimum result.
As advised by my colleagues, most surgeons will advise you to discontinue all herbal medications approximately 2 weeks prior to surgery. However, each surgeon may have their own unique approach.
Before surgery, I would avoid any herbal concoctions, because these are not regulated too well, and may have blood thinners in them.
Only follow the chosen operating surgeons advise. NOT ours!!! To be a good patient ONLY follow the surgeon's pre operative requirements. From MIAMI Dr. darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091
Except for the ones specifically recommended or approved by your surgeon, it is best to discontinue all vtamins and herbal supplements about 2 weeks before surgery: many are blood thinners; others can react badly with medications or anesthesia.
Thanks for the question. 2-4 months is enough time to get a piercing. Then, if you talk to your surgeon and get approval, there is no obstacle to having a piercing. I wish you all the best.
As long as you have good eating habits, your weight gain should only be temporary due mostly to fluid retention. It is important during the healing stage, not to deprive your body of much needed nutrients. Within 6 weeks of your surgery, you should be able to get back to your regular exercise...
I ALWAYS require MY patients to STOP any vitamins unless I specifically OK them. With multi Vits I ALWAYS ADVISE to stop. Best of luck, from MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091
