Im having rhino/septo/turbs procedure in early 2016, and id really like to ensure I give myself the best chance to recover through my diet. I have read up on preop instructions, however I was planning on maintaining a mostly vegan diet in the lead up to surgery. Are there any essential vitamins or minerals I should introduce or avoid prior to surgery to keep myself in best health?

Dear usmanfarooqi,
Thank you for your clinical post and
photograph. You have very masculine
facial features, high brows, strong supraorbital ridge, wide cheekbones, strong
bold lower face. Any subtle
cartilaginous trauma that might have occurred to your upper or lower lateral
cartilages at...
There is no harm in asking your insurance company if they will cover treatment of the bone spur. Perhaps they will respond positively because this is secondary to trauma and you apparently have ongoing problems. Hopefully you have excellent insurance coverage.
It is best to direct specific post-operative questions and concerns to the surgeon who performed your procedure to go with their preferences. Sunblock should be applied to the incision to protect it from the effects of the sun.
