Is L-Lysine safe to take before mommy makeover?

If you were my patient, I would recommend stopping this and any other supplement at least 2 weeks before surgery. However, you should discuss all medications, supplements, and vitamins you take with your plastic surgeon and have him/her decide what you should and should not be taking prior to your mommy makeoverI can only recommend you see board certified plastic surgeons.Good luck,

It is important to discuss all medications and supplements that you take with your surgeon.  It sounds as though you were provided a list of some that you should avoid, but when in question it is best to ask.  It is for your safety.

You should
discuss what medications, supplements, and vitamins you are taking, both
prescription and over the counter, with your plastic surgeon and have him or
her decide what you should and should not be taking. Your surgeon should be
certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). It is important to
follow all pre and post-operative instructions.

L-Lysine is an amino acid that is commonly used as a dietary supplement. While it is generally considered safe for most people when taken at recommended doses, it's essential to discuss any supplements you plan to take before undergoing a mommy makeover or any surgical procedure with your plastic surgeon.
L-Lysine supplements have been associated with potential interactions with certain medications and medical conditions. Additionally, although there is limited evidence, some studies suggest that L-Lysine may affect blood clotting or immune function, which could potentially impact surgical outcomes.
Your plastic surgeon will have specific instructions regarding pre-operative preparations, including which medications and supplements to avoid before surgery. They may recommend stopping certain supplements, including L-Lysine, before the procedure to minimize the risk of complications and ensure the best possible surgical outcome.
Before taking any supplements before your mommy makeover, be sure to consult with your plastic surgeon. They can provide guidance based on your individual health status, medical history, and the specific procedures planned for your surgery. Following their recommendations will help ensure a safe and successful surgical experience.
