No apples prior to Breast augmentation; why not?

Hello,Great question. There is a Polyphenol similar to Quercitin called "Rutin" found in apples which is believed to act like Coumadin; as a blood thinner. I don't personally restrict apple-eating before surgery, but many herbals and supplements are on my, "avoid"  list along with medications for this reason. Each Plastic Surgeon has their own post op protocols based on their research and I recommend that you trust your chosen Surgeon's recommendations. All the best!

There are a number of foods and supplements that can thin the blood but I do not restrict diet before plastic surgery.  The most important issue regarding complications is the skill of your plastic surgeon so make sure yours is Certified by the American  Board of Plastic Surgery and has favorable reviews.

I have no idea. It is not a restriction that I've ever placed on my patients, but every surgeon has his or her own pre-op protocol Why not give the office a call and ask? Could be a typo. Best, Dr. Nazarian
