Dear tifftrish,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Dear tifftrish,Thank you for your question. Per my patients, I allow them to have black tea. However, I suggest following up with your Board Certified Operating Surgeon for his or her own personal recommendation. Best of luck to you on your upcoming surgery!

Dear Tifftrish,


My reflex answer is you should follow the protocol your surgeon has set out for you. 

I myself cannot think of any reason why you cannot have black tea before surgery.  As a matter of fact, anesthesia journals regard black tea and black coffee at “clear liquids” and usually will allow them to be consumed until a few hours before surgery in order to have an empty stomach.  I hope this has been helpful.

Yes, black tea will not have any detrimental effects for  a rhinoplasty procedure.  Always best to check with your operative surgeon.

Drinking tea prior to a rhinoplasty should not affect your surgery. If your surgeon specifically instructed you not to drink tea, then I would follow his or her instructions. Best wishes.
