Is taking prenatal vitamins pre surgery (BBL) beneficial?

Question

Hello I am preparing to have a bbl surgery. I have started to take a prenatal vitamin as it has high doses of iron, zinc, vitamins etc. Is this an acceptable supplement?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I do not recommend any vitamins or supplements in healthy patients, but it is important to be getting enough protein and nutrients through a balanced diet. PSs typically provide a list of medications to avoid before a BBL. Follow your board certified PS's guidelines.
