Thank you for your question, alanbm. I believe you are capable of drinking coconut water a couple days after surgery, depending on the amount of coconut water. Please follow your surgeon's recovery guidelines diligently and understand that you are able of improving your results through your careful and comprehensive following the recovery guidelines provided to you. Best wishes,

I would ask your surgeon but you could probably start it a couple of days later. . I would also drink lots of fluids. Best of Luck!

Thank you for the question.   Coconut water MAY cause some difficulties with blood pressure control during and after surgery.   Though there are no specific guidelines, avoiding coconut water for two weeks before and two weeks after surgery is probably the safest option.  Best of luck to your mother with her upcoming procedure.

Thanks for your question. You should ask your surgeon this question.  For my patients, there is no restriction on coconut water after a neck lift.

Barry N. Silberg, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

It depends upon how much coconut water she usually drinks.  A moderate amount should not be a problem is she does not have high blood pressure.
