Had MCT oil for past two days - Breast Aug is less than five days away - should I reschedule?

Question

I have breast augmentation scheduled this Thursday. I wasn't thinking and used a tablespoon of MCT oil yesterday and the day before in the morning on an empty stomach (due to constipation). I had stopped all other supplements at the two week prior mark as well as aspirin etc. I stupidly was not even considering this as a supplement as I used to take it daily with my apple cider vinegar and I wasn't thinking. Should I be concerned or do I need to reschedule? Thanks!

Before seeking answers here, you should checking with your surgeon.  Most likely, the answer will be that it's OK, but since surgeons sue slightly different techniques and may have varying concerns, you should discuss it with them.

You will be fine.  This is not a concerning issue imo.  The only thing I would add is that you might want to let your surgeon be aware.  Hope this helps.  Good luck in your transformation.

MCT oil should not significantly affect the aspect of your surgery.  But, the only person who can clear you or decide surgery versus not is your surgeon.  If you have any concerns I suggest you call his or her office and discussed with them directly.Best of luck!

You are best to ask your surgeon to determine what might be appropriate for you.  Let him know what you took.

We provide out patients with a list of medications and supplements that interfere with blood clotting before surgery. Your surgeon probably also provided you a list. Please check to see if the MCT oil is present and also, perhaps call directly. In our practice, this is not a contraindication to surgery.
