What vitamins should I be taking prior to getting a bbl? And what vitamins should I take after bbl?

Question

I would like to know what vitamins to take before my surgery (Ex. Iron, vitamin C, zinc. Etc) also what should I continue to take after surgery

Fernando Robles Rodriguez, MD · Answer

It is not recommendable to take any vitamin or medicine in general before this type of surgeries, at least on the five days prior the surgery day, to prevent bleeding problems. Depending on your hemoglobin level and if your surgeon recommends, you can take Iron pills, one or two daily in the morning time with orange juice for a better absortion. Do not take the Iron at night because it cause constipation. After the surgery, you should take only the medicine and vitamins that your Doctor recommends.

Have a beautiful day!

Respectfully,

Dr. Fernando Robles Rodriguez

In general, patients who eat a wide variety of foods and do not have any major illnesses will have sufficient vitamins from their diet. However, certain herbal supplements may actually cause more bruising with surgery and should be stopped some time before surgery. As each surgeon has a different protocol, contact the office directly to see what items are of concern, if any.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.

I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

We recommend stopping supplements a week before surgery and you especially want to avoid anything that could have blood thinning properties. You can restart vitamins one day after surgery and its always good to eat a balanced diet.

Frederick G. Weniger, MD, FACS, MBA · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Every surgeon has a different pre and post operative protocol.  At my office, we only suggest a multiple vitamin.  There is many different vitamins that will thin the blood which needs to be avoided for 2 weeks prior to surgery.  Please talk with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon on their pre and post operative protocols.  Good Luck
