In my opinion normal dosing of Vitamin D is not a problem for my patients, but you should check with your own surgeon to be sure.

Thank you for your question. Vitamin D should not pose any adverse effects for your upcoming surgery but I would still recommend that you discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon.

I advise my patients to avoid the use of Vitamin A, E, fish oil, omega's, multivitamins and blood thinners for at least two weeks before their surgery. I hope that this answer helps and I wish you all of the best.
