Will poppy seed tea in the weeks before surgery cause any surgical issues?

tessalewis1Feb 23, 2014
I am scheduled for my BA in two weeks. I regularly drink a glass of poppy seed tea each night to help me sleep. ( seen it on the dr.Oz show) Will that cause any issues with surgery, anestisiology or recovery? If so, will stopping now until surgery suffice to mitigate any risk?

I personally think that 550 is a bit on the large side for the average woman of your size.  But given the description of your size goals and desires, it will definitely give you a full D, and there will be nothing subtle about it. If that's the look you want, go for it!

They generally take about 3-4 months to drop, although they may take longer depending on your body. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photos.  You have some bruising around your incisions.  This is not abnormal to have.  Keep an eye on the area to see if it gets worse.  In the absence of significant breast swelling or increasing pain, there is not much to worry about....

You can change to smaller implants and have the mole removed at the same time.Try to research this to find the surgeon who consistently produces the results you would expect. Look at reviews on this site and see who gets the surgery right every time. Find a board certified plastic surgeon...

Thank you for your question and photos.  Your breasts will undergo subtle changes over the weeks to months after surgery.  As the skin stretches out, the implants send to settle a little bit.  There is nothing you can do to hasten this process.  Give it time, stay in contact...

If you are hoping to increase the size of your breasts, then a breast pump would not provide a lasting effect. It would increase circulation to the breast which could provide a temporary boost, but the effects are short lived.
