Do you recommend the vitamin IV after BBL? I see a recovery house offer it.

There is no need for additional vitamins after BBL providing that you are in good health. If you are already using vitamins stop it few days before surgery and continue 2 days after. Good luck.

To my knowledge there is no published evidence to date that supports the effectiveness of IV vitamin therapies.  I would not recommend IV vitamin therapy unless there’s a medically diagnosed reason for the infusion as prescribed by a board certified physician based on the patient’s diagnosis and body composition.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your questions. This sounds like a recipe for snake oil and a way to take some of your money. I would question the legitimacy of the people you have chosen to care for you during and after this procedure. The BBL procedure is now know to have the highest death rate of any elective cosmetic procedure, so please please make sure you are seeing a reputable plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and do not accept anything less than this.Best of luck!Dallas R.
