Is Magnesium safe to take before/after rhinoplasty?

Question

Will it affect bleeding? I take it to help me with insomnia

Rajan Uppal, MBBS, FRCS · Answer

There is no contra indication to taking this supplement. Another supplement that is often taken  to reduce bruising is Arnica; but again there is no specific evidence that it works. I encourage patients to take Arnica as it does help some patients.

Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD · Answer

I am not aware of any issues with taking magnesium adversely affects bleeding after surgery.  Ideally a patient should be off all medications which aren't absolutely necessary, but I don't imagine this will be an issue.. Check with your plastic surgeon to be sure.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Supplements in general are usually best to be avoided. You should contact your surgeon to review meds to avoid. Best of luck.
