Should caffeine be avoided before/after facial surgery?

May 24, 2019
Asked By:HappyEmoji in Los Angeles, CA

From Q/A's im reading on here, some surgeons seem to believe cutting out caffeine helps wound healing. I'm not sure how long caffeine stays in the system. If I cut it out prior to surgery, when shoud I start avoiding it + for how long after surgery should I wait before drinking caffeine again? Thanks!
