I take alot of supplements and want to know which to avoid? Also,over the counter meds>
Answer: What Supplements to Avoid Before Surgery This is a very important question and one that will be addressed by your surgeon. For my patients I give them an extensive list of what to avoid. All supplements and medications that thin the blood need to be avoided for two weeks before and two weeks after surgery. There are too many to list here, but I have my patients bring in a list to review with them and I can let them know which ones need to be avoided. Take a list to your surgeon! Good luck.

Answer: What Supplements to Avoid Before Surgery? Cut Out All Blood Thinners, Including NSAIDs, Before Surgery In general, you should discontinue all herbs and medications that thin your blood at least two weeks before and 10 days after surgery. A partial list includes NSAIDs, ginger, garlic, and St. John’s Wort. You also need to avoid medications that interfere with anesthesia. Your facial plastic surgeon will provide you with a complete list during your consultation. If, for some reason, this step was neglected, just call your surgeon’s office and I’m sure they’ll happily provide you with a complete list. I hope this helps.

Answer: What supplements should be avoided before a procedure? Prior to any procedure in our clinic, we advise patients to stop any blood thinning medications two weeks before and after surgery. Many supplements do thin the blood ( ie: Fish oil, omegas, melatonin, Vit. E, turmeric and many more). Commonly used over the counter (OTC) medications that we have patients stop include NSAID's (ibuprofen, motrin, excedrine, aleve, etc.)

Answer: Supplements Use Before Procedure Good afternoon and thank you for your question,I typically ask my patients to discontinue use of all supplements at least one week before the procedure. You can continue them after another two weeks of healing but we do not want any complications to arise due to a supplement affecting the way the body can take and heal from the procedure.Thanks and have a nice day.

Answer: What supplements should be avoided before a procedure? In our practice, we ask patients to get off of all supplements prior to surgery since some of those supplements can interfere with anesthesia and bleeding. Best to check with your operative surgeon.
