Why is it important to stop drinking teas 30 days before BBL surgery? Can you still rink detox teas ?

Hello and thank you for your question. Plastic surgeons have their own protocol when it comes to pre and post op care. Many of the herbal supplements, vitamins, food additives, green tea, etc can interfere with forming blood clots and prolong bleeding time (increased bruising, etc). I would suggest that you follow your surgeon’s protocol.

Best wishes and good luck,

Dear Renelle118,
most plastic surgeons have a list of medications, supplements, natural products which they recommend to stop using prior to surgery because they can interfere with anesthesia, healing, etc. But every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
