Question

BBL with 360 Lipo. Someone suggested like taking collagen vitamins and folic acid. I’m just looking for something that would help me with a healthy and speedy recovery for my new body

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. I generally encourage my patients to avoid any vitamins or herbal supplements before surgery.  Please be sure to discuss this with your surgeon, before you begin taking anything, to ensure that he or she provides clear guidelines on what he or she believes may be useful or harmful.

Dear lledet09,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

For my BBL patients, I recommend they take a multi-vitamin like "Women's One-a-day" and bromelin and arnica pills. I have them start the multi-vitamin at their pre-op visit and the arnice and bromelin the day before surgery and continue until the bruising is gone.

There is very little evidence that taking any supplemental vitamins has any health benefits whatsoever.If you’re not vitamin depleted you do not need to take vitamin supplements.Some providers recommend vitamin C and a long list of other supplements.I recommend having a diverse state in which case vitamins are not necessary and serve no purpose.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
