Should I Stop Omega 3 Fish Oil and Balanced B Complex Before Double Eyelid Surgery?

February 13, 2013
Asked By:daydreamer333 in Massachusetts, MA

1) Should I stop omega 3 fish oil and balanced B complex before double eyelid surgery and/or brow lift? If so, how many days or weeks before the surgery? If that's not a possibility, is it still okay to go for surgery? 2) What else should I be avoiding? 3) What should I be taking/doing to speed healing? Thank you!
