I appreciate your question.I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck!Dr. SchwartzBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon#RealSelf100Surgeon

You should ask your surgeon about your post-op instructions. Herbal works is something I am not familiar with.
