When should I stop drinking coffee? I'm having a TT and BBL

Thank you for your question. Every surgeon has different instructions, so please ask your surgeon. Typically, I tell my patients to stop any teas, herbal remedies, or herbal vitamins one week before surgery.

The PS you selected to perform your TT and BBL will have certain guidelines for pre and post-operative care.  Best to consult with your PS if no mention is made of limiting caffeine products in those guidelines.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hi... thank you for the question.... each Board Certified Plastic Surgeon have their own indications, i do not tell my patients to stop drinking coffee... Follow the specific instructions of your own surgeon.

Hi, thanks for your question, I would say that there are different opinions regarding this topic, mostly it would be depending in how caffeine affects normally your heartbeat on a daily basis, if it alters you it is better to stop one or two weeks prior your surgery. On the other hand, sometimes when you quit you might suffer from headaches so it is not convenient to stop taking your coffee. It would be better for you to please have an in person consultation so you can discuss thoroughly all your concerns, options and expectations. Good luck in your PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon
