Just noticed my Vitamin D Supplement has Vitamin E in it. I did stop before surgery taking supplements. What about now, two months post surgery ?
Answer: Okay to Take Vitamins 2 Weeks (not months) After Surgery I think it is generally okay to take your supplements within about two weeks of surgery. The big fear with Vitamin E is that it can make you bleed. By the time you get to two weeks, you should be safe.Incidentally, there is some literature that suggests vitamin E is actually bad for your scars - did you know that? It has actually been demonstrated to decrease the tensile strength of wounds. Just one more tidbit for you to dial into the situation.Good Luck!

Answer: Vitamin E okay after facelift but not helpful. Unless you have a GI disturbance, supplemental Vitamin E can only do you harm. It will have no effect on the facelift.

Answer: Vitamin E after Facelift At 2 months after facelift, it is safe to resume Vitamin E and nutritional supplements. Your surgeon asked you to stop vitamin E before face lift to minimize bleeding issues during surgery and in the early post-operative period.
