I drink amino acids during my workout to help with muscle soreness. My augmentation surgery is scheduled for June 23rd so June 9th I have to stop taking certain meds etc....would amino acids still be ok? I will stop taking the pre workout but wasn't sure about this!
Answer: Supplements before Breast Augmentation The amino acids themselves are generally not a problem with surgery. However, most of the time there are other ingredients which may cause bleeding. For this reason, I ask patients to stop all supplements. Check with your plastic surgeon, as he/she may be particular about this issue and may cancel surgery if you are on a supplement that increases bleeding. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Supplements Prior to Surgery Dear Sarah, That's a great question but without knowing which ones you currently take I don't want to be too general. In my practice we have a full page list of acceptable or non-acceptable medications and supplements that a client needs to adjust prior to surgery. Never feel bad about calling your physician office as his/her nurse should be able to check your history and medication list and then advise you personally. Best of Luck.

Answer: Supplements Thank you for your question. My strong advice is to follow the specific instructions given by your plastic surgeon regarding medication and your health history. That being said, I do advise my patients to refrain from aspirin and NSAIDs as well as vitamin E/fish oil for two weeks before and after a surgical procedure. Best of luck.

Answer: Amino acid drinks I have patients 2 weeks prior to surgery stop all aleve, ibuprofen, motrin, aspirin, vit. E, fish oil . these are blood thinners and interfere with platelet function.

Answer: Supplements before surgery HI,I always ask my patients to stop all supplements and non prescription medications 10 days prior to surgery. This is to make sure that there are no unanticipated interactions with the anesthetic agents.All my best,Daniel A. medalie, MD
