Rhinoplasty in 3 weeks, I drink a small 4 oz daily health juice, can I still have it with the below ingredients??

The only ingredient I see to be a problem is ginger. I have a number of my own patients that love Kombucha drinks which are often mixed with ginger and have found an increased bleeding and bruising effect. I usually review this with my patients and have them stop any possible herbs that can thin the blood like ginger at least 2 weeks before surgery. Your surgeon may have their own list of herbs and supplements that should be avoided and you should check with them now to give yourself enough time to be off any herbs, vitamins or supplements that could effect the surgery.

Dear np888, I would speak with your surgeons office and see what their pre-operative instructions are. Many herbs can cause bleeding and those would need to be reviewed. My anesthesiologist reviews all medications, herbs, or supplements the patients are on and determines whether they are to be continued or discontinued prior to surgery. Personally the pineapple, orange, ginger and lemon juices would be fine however better safe then sorry I would likely stop the other additives. Again your surgeon can advise you of his/her practices. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
