HCG Diet Before Breast Augmentation

I am unaware of studies looking specifically at the relationship between the HCG diet and the effects on surgical outcomes. That being said adequate nutrition is critical to optimal wound healing and I encourage my patients to be off the hcg and on a regular diet for at least 2-6 weeks depending on the magnitude of the surgical procedure.

You need to discuss this with your surgeon as this may alter the treatment plan and timing of your surgery. Your safety and optimal outcome is your surgeons ultimate goal. I hope this was helpful.

I have not seen any studies regarding the HCG diet and its affects on wound healing  and the like.  You may want to go back on a regular diet a few weeks before surgery and avooid the HCG.

I recently saw a bit on an infomercial about the HCG diet and it certainly will work with the calorie restrictions involved. We do think that as you approach surgery, you should be on a stable weight neutral diet with good nutritional balance perhaps a month before.

Best of luck,
