Hi, so there is a lot of information regarding vitamins and sups that are not recommended to be taken prior surgery such as,Vitamin E. Just wondering are there any vitamins or sups out there that can be taken before and after surgery to help reduce healing time and bruising. I am undergoing a rhinoplasty and otoplasty in November. I also take two alfalfa caps daily, is that okay? Thanks.

Answer: Keep it simple For rhinoplasty, you do not need to take any vitamins or supplements before surgery. You should focus on eating a balanced, healthy diet. While some patients like to take arnica or bromelain, I don't typically have patients take any of this before surgery. A multivitamin can be helpful to make sure you have some balance to your nutritional needs, but anything outside of this is not a good idea, especially if your surgeon does not know about it, as some supplements and vitamins can increase your ability to bleed intraoperatively, which may compromise your result. Ask your doctor if he or she recommends anything for you in particular.
