I am getting my current implants removed new ones put in and I am getting a full anchor lift. Do you suggest taking supplements to promote healing? If so what type. I have read Zinc and Vitamin C and Bromelain are good choices. I know E is not good and causes bleeding. Also in regard to Alchol I was told a week before but I have a party this Saturday and wondering if bad if I had a drink or two.

Answer: Supplements for surgery
Vitamin C 1000 mg/day and Zinc 220 mg/day are excellent supplements prior to surgery, in addition to adequate protein intake. Avoiding Vit E is also important. Other supplements may not have other than placebo effects. One or 2 drinks 2 days before surgery should be fine, but don't get a hangover!

Answer: Diet and Alcohol Prior to Breast Augmentation/Lifting Surgery?
Thank you for the question.
Always best to check with your plastic surgeon about specific instructions prior to surgery. However, personally I do not think it is necessary to take any specific supplements prior to surgery (assuming you are in good health and consume a healthy diet). Also, assuming alcohol consumption is done in moderation ("a drink or two"), you should be fine. Do not expose yourself to nicotine (first or second hand) prior to surgery.
Again, best to confirm with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.
