Are prenatal vitamins a good supplement to take before 360 lipo and BBL surgery, and when should I stop taking them?

Hello, thank you for your question. I do not recommend any vitamins or supplements in healthy patients, but it is important to be getting enough protein and nutrients through a balanced diet. PSs typically provide a list of medications to avoid before a BBL. I recommend you to follow your board certified plastic surgeon guidelines.

Dear msdee65,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Taking vitamins may be important for those for a vitamin deficient because of extreme limited diets or problems with vitamin absorption.

For the rest of us they serve no medical purpose or advantage.

There is no medical benefit for healthy people to take vitamin supplements.

I suggest you ask your provider but his or her thoughts are on taking these.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD
