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.

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.

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.

It is important to review all medications that you take with your surgeon.  This includes prescription, over the counter medications and supplements.  This is for your safety.  Your surgeon will advise which to stop prior to surgery as well as when medications can resume after your procedure.
