Do I have to stop taking BCAAs 2 weeks prior to my breast augmentation? (photos)

Thank you for your question.  BCAA's are not contraindicated for surgery but I would make your surgeon aware of your impending diet and water restrictions plans in order to ensure your safety for surgery.

Hello,Thank you for your question. This is best to be specifically addressed by your Plastic Surgeon as we all have our own preferred, pre op restrictions. If your Plastic Surgeon is aware and not concerned with you continuing to take these that is what you need to hear.Take care

You should be fine. However, I always think it's a good idea to keep your surgeon informed of any "diet" changes such yours. Always best to err on the side of caution. Best of luck with your competition, Dr. Nazarian

Best to ask your operating surgeon since everyone has a slightly different preop protocol. Make sure you are well hydrated prior to surgery though. Good luck!!

This is a question to ask your surgeon, but I have never seen a problem with bcaa prior to surgery.  Good luck!

No one truly knows what's in these pills.  FDA has been suing many of the makers.  In my opinion, you should not take anything like this stuff 14 days before surgery.  Be sure to discuss with your own surgeon about how this applies to you, and whether they have any special concerns in your case.

Thank you for the question.  Taking in supplements should be fine before the surgery as long as it has no ingredients  that your surgeon has banned you from consuming.  It would be best to let your surgeon know about this and follow his advice.  Best of luck Dr. Michael Omidi.

BCAA and protein supplements are likely OK prior to your surgery.  However, you want to ask your plastic surgeon about his/her specific recommendations.  In addition, it is important to maintain your hydration before and after surgery.  Best wishes,Dr. BasuHouston, TX

Thank you for your question. Protein supplements are ok to take it. But you need to clarify and approval from your PS. Makesure you are well hydrated before surgery. Good Luck

HiThanks for the question.  I don't know of any reason you can't take the BCAA.  Just make sure your surgeon knows about this and about the competition.   You need to make sure you are well hydrated for your surgery.  I guess as long as you have a few days to rehydrate afterwards it should be fine.  Good Luck
