Is OK to drink herbal teas before rhinoplasty?

Question

Is it ok to drink herbal teas? (Cranberry & Rasberry / Camomile ) I am aware than free tea thins the blood. Many thanks.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Yes, it is acceptable to drink herbal teas prior to a rhinoplasty procedure. In our practice for over 25 years we've never seen a problem with drinking herbal teas and a nosebleed

Mark Samaha, MD · Answer

There should be no problem with drinking the teas you mentioned prior to rhinoplasty. However, you should be careful about herbal or natural supplements and substances. For example, green tea can act as a blood thinner. Other herbal drinks an also have a similar effect. We recommend to our patients to discontinue all herbal and natural supplements one month prior to surgery.
