Floradix vs iron supplements before surgery

Question

Hi, I'm wondering if there is any advantage of taking Floradix over regular iron supplements prior to surgery. I'm having Lipo 360 and BBL. My iron levels now are perfect. Hemoglobin is 13.5 and Hematocrit is 40.9 plus I will be taking a good multi vitamin. I'm 5'1" and 160 pounds.

Dear mblumcma,

every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your query. Iron supplements are usually not required before BBL ,  if you have a normal hemoglobin. If, however you need to take them, you can choose the ones that agree with your stomach. Floradix has herbs and vitamin C and B complex, which may help lower the incidence of constipation and help absorb the iron. Please ask your surgeon his./her preference. All the best!
