I'm having a breast augmentation in two weeks and I want to prepare myself as well as possible. I have to travel by plane to get the surgery done, and I go home the next day, so my fist night will be in a hotel. I'm thinking of buying things before I leave so it's ready when I get home. Do you have any tips about what I should eat before and after? and what to avoid? I've read so many strange things on the internet like, eat canned peaches, avoid banana and fish?

Answer: Pre-and postoperative diet. There are no specific foods that will make your outcome any better or worse. There are some recommendations on supplements and medications to avoid prior to surgery. medications such as aspirin and blood thinners must be discontinued prior to surgery. There are number of dietary supplements that may increase the risk for bleeding. Consult your plastic surgeon to determine what their rules for supplements and medications are prior to surgery. Overall it is important to have a healthy balanced diet both before and after surgery. This is to prepare your body for the metabolic demand of healing and to allow your body to have the building blocks necessary to recover from surgery.

Answer: What to eat for breast surgery There really is no special diet or supplements that will help with your surgery results or recovery. A lot of physicians and patients think that pineapples which contain bromelain might help with bruising. But most patients don't have any bruising with breast augmentation anyway. And the actual benefits of supplements like bromelain or arnica montana are not well supported with scientific evidence. Eat whatever you like, but don't eat anything after midnight the night before surgery.
