Can I drink Green Tea one week after a en bloc breast implant removal?

Question

Hi! I am having a total en bloc capsulectomy and wanted to know if resuming green tea 10 days post op would be okay. I hear 2 weeks because of bleeding but wanted to know if one week is sufficient enough. Thank you, Lorin

Eric Wright, MD · Answer

Lorin L., you should be fine to resume green tea 10 days after surgery. Ask the surgeon performing your surgery as they will know your medical history and have a specific protocol for you to follow in the postoperative period. Good luck with your surgery.

Dear Lorin L.,
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.

First, en bloc surgery is for cancer surgery only and not just removing capsules. Second, if you surgeon requests that you wait 2 weeks, then please wait two weeks.

While it should be fine for you to resume drinking Green Tea 10 days after your surgery, this question is best answered by your surgeon.  She/He is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.
