I am scheduled for a facelift in 2 weeks and i have some questions on getting prepared. Specifically my questions are: Low salt diet before and after, does it really help? What about foods rich in vitamin e since you are told to stop vit e supplements? What about vitamin e in face care products? Finally, must i stop restasis and antihistimine and decogestant eye drops and if so when? Thanks in advance - there are always great answers from the doctors on this site.

Answer: Preparation for your Facelift should be left to Your Surgeon
Hi there-
While I know your question is innocent, and also that most of the surgeons on this site mean well and want to help, the truth is that your surgeon would probably be a bit sad and frustrated if he knew that you were asking strangers on the internet these questions, instead of letting him tell you what he thinks is safe and effective in his practice.
Think of it this way- none of us know you as well as your surgeon does; none of us have examined you, and none of us knows exactly what the details of the surgery your surgeon is planning are. Your surgeon is therefore the only one qualified to answer. Give his office a call before you do anything.
Best of luck- I hope you look great!

Answer: Diet in preparation for facelift
Most would agree that a low sodium diet before and after surgery will help to reduce the amount of swelling you experience. When it comes to medications and supplements, your surgeon should be able to provide you with the answers to your questions. It is best to follow his or her recommendations.
