Answer: Supplements OK Pre- and Post-Op Breast Augmentation Surgery In healthy patients, I do not typically recommend anything. For your safety, check with your plastic surgeon to determine if the supplements are on his/her approved list. My pre-op instructions specify that ALL sources of Vitamin E, e.g., Vitamin E pills, multivitamins, Slim Fast Ensure Plus, ALL HERBS, e.g. Ginko, Garlic, Ginseng, Natural or health preparations e.g. bee’s pollen, protein powders, etc. are to be STOPPED 1 week BEFORE surgery. My post op instructions include a recommendation that patients take 100 grams of protein per day in the healing phase for the first 6 weeks after surgery.

Answer: Vitamins/Supplements Before Surgery Normally, we would recommend that all supplements be discontinued at least 1 week pre and post surgery depending on what it is. Consult with your plastic surgeon for his/her specific recommendations regarding supplement restrictions for surgery.

Answer: Supplements and breast augmentation Many plastic surgeons are more concerned about supplements before surgery. It's a very personal topic. You should check with your plastic surgeon. I personally don't see a problem with any of the things that you are taking.

Answer: Are the following vitamins and supplements okay to take before and after breast augmentation surgery? This should be addressed directly with your surgeon during your consultation. I have my patients stopping all vitamins and supplements 2 weeks prior to surgery. Every surgeon has his or her own protocol they wish you to follow prior to surgery.

Answer: Are the following vitamins and supplements ok to take? I would recommend you stop taking everything 2 weeks before surgery. But you should check with your surgeon as we all have slightly different pre and post op instructions and he would know best.

Answer: Are the following vitamins and supplements okay to take before and after breast augmentation surgery? Thank you for sharing your question. In general you should clear all medications with your surgeon as they are your best resource, but outside of verifying the components of your multivitamin the rest should be fine to take. best wishes.
