Is it ok to take Hyaluronic acid supplement post breast augmentation surgery?

Question

Which vitamin / mineral that should or should not be taken?

Sacha Obaid, MD · Answer

Hylauronic acid is not on the list of medications, vitamins, and supplements I require my patients to stop before and after surgery.  There are, however, several other medications, vitamins, and supplements that I do require patients to stop before and after surgery.  It is best to discuss all medications, vitamins, and supplements you are currently taking with your board certified plastic surgeon and follow his or her instructions.  Best of luck!

Hi revndriana123, 
While supplements taken post-operatively do not interfere with the results of your surgery, it is best that you consult and speak with your plastic surgeon about this. Every surgeon has a different  post-operative protocol concerning what you can or cannot take after undergoing surgery.

Dear Revndriana123,
Thanks for your question! I would recommend speaking to your board certified surgeon as each physician approaches vitamins/supplements differently with specific protocols for such things.
Good luck to you.

It is best to review all of the medications, vitamins and supplements you take with your surgeon prior to surgery. We plastic surgeons all do things somewhat differently including stop and re start dates.

Robert M. Tornambe, MD · Answer

revndriana123. Are usually recommend suspension of all vitamins and supplements two weeks before and two weeks after breast augmentation surgery. However, each surgeon has their own particular protocol, and I recommend that you ask your board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.
