Can Prenatal Vitamins Be Taken for Tummy Tuck?

A healthy well-balanced diet is all you need to recover from surgery. If your diet is inconsistent then a multivitamin can help. This should be all you need. 

Yes, we encourage use of vitamins prior to surgery.  However, you should check with your surgeon and follow their recommendations.

 

Good Luck.

 Although prenatal vitamins will be okay prior to tummy tuck surgery,  they are not usually necessary.

Assuming you are on a  healthy, well-balanced diet there should be no reason to change or supplement your diet prior to surgery. Your plastic surgeon will have a list of foods, supplements, herbs, and medications to avoid prior to surgery.

Also, there is no specific “recommended diet” for the post-tummy tuck patient. A well-balanced diet with high fiber and a good protein source would obviously be helpful. Adding a protein shake ( to each meal) if necessary may also be helpful especially if your appetite is curtailed ( which often happens during this period). Frequent hydration is also important.

Best wishes.
