I will be having lipo 360 on December 20th, in a little over a month. My doctor requested for his patients to take Hema Plex, Vitamin C, Floradix (iron supplement) and Folic Acid 3 times a day prior to surgery. I find this to be a lot, is this dosage normal? 3 times a day?
Answer: What are required vitamins for lipo 360? There are no standards for vitamins or supplements prior to plastic surgery. I require no vitamins or supplements prior to plastic surgery in my practice. More importantly our vitamins and medications not to take: such as aspirin (salicylic acid), Motrin, ibuprofen, Aleve, vitamin E or any vitamins with E, fish oil of any kind, flax seed oil, garlic, or eating salmon or tuna three weeks prior to surgery. These all make you bleed and bruise excessively. If you wish to take vitamins, find vitamins that do not contain vitamin E, such as SurgiVites. Thank you for your interesting question, and best wishes.. E. Ronald Finger, MD, FACS, Member A.. Soc. Plastic Surgery, Am. Soc. Asethetic Plastic surgery, American Board of Plastic Surgery

Answer: Vitamins not Required for Surgery Patients are not required to take any vitamins before or after this surgical procedure. Your doctor should not be requiring you to take any vitamins or supplements. Some doctors may have a personal preference in how to help the healing process, for example, I recommend arnica gel or cream to my patients to help with bruising but there is no standard or obligation to follow such a recommendation.

Answer: No vitamins needed! You do not need any additional vitamins prior to your planned surgery. There has never been a single study to show that it helps healing. If your doctor is selling the vitamins or is telling you to buy them elsewhere, you are being scammed.
