The only opinion that matters is that of your PS; ask him or her.  I know of no studies indicating that caffeine has ill effects on fat transfers.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Antonios Mitsakos, MD · Answer

After the completion of your immediate postop healing (6-8 weeks postop) moderate amount of caffeine could be consumed in the context of a healthy lifestyle and nutrition. A thorough consultation with a surgeon will help you understand your options better and also discuss all your concerns and you aesthetic goals for your individual case.

Fulvio Urso-Baiarda, MD, FRCS(Plast) · Answer

After your surgery you'll have enough irritations going on - some discomfort, your garments, restricted sleeping positions and so on. Don't let caffeine withdrawal be an unnecessary extra one! There is no evidence that caffeine has any effect - positive or negative - on fat graft take, and as such I do not advise patients to abstain from caffeine after their procedure. Feel free to continue enjoying your morning coffee!

Marcus Davis, MBBS, MRM, FRCSEd (Plast) · Answer

Dear Murray,
As with everything in life, enjoy in moderation. There’s no evidence to suggest caffeine will be detrimental to the survival of your fat graft post-procedure.
Unfortunately when evidence is scant or absent, eminence rather than evidence based medicine is practiced - surgeons will follow what their seniors taught them.
Best of luck.
Marcus
