How soon after rhinoplasty (and chin implant) can I resume IV Vitamin Therapy?

Question

I just had my rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, and neck lipo procedures done about 2 weeks ago. When is it safe to resume IV Vitamin Therapy? I usually get a Myers' Cocktail Infusion, Glutathione push, and B12 Slimming shots. Will any of these treatments compromise my ability to heal?

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello,There are no benefits from the costly IV therapy you are receiving, only very strong hype and marketing. Any perceived improvement in health or well being is placebo. Best of luck!

Dear nadiagsal,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

At 2 weeks you should be fine, and nothing in a Myer's Cocktail should impair your healing. (It would make sense that it might improve your healing, but I'm not aware of any studies supporting that. I don't think any such studies have been done, but maybe someone could correct me if I'm wrong.)  Ask your plastic surgeon but realize that many plastic surgeons have probably never heard of a Myer's Cocktail, so he/she might say "no" out of ignorance.
