How soon can coffee/tea be resumed after mommy makeover and liposuction?

The plastic surgeon you selected to perform your MM and lipo will have certain guidelines for pre and post-operative care.  Best to consult with your plastic surgeon if no mention is made of limiting caffeine products in those guidelines.  I encourage my patients to drink protein shakes to enhance wound healing following surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

After a mommy makeover or liposuction, it's typically advised to wait until you're fully recovered before resuming caffeine consumption, as it can have effects on your healing process. Here’s a general guideline:
1. Mommy Makeover (including tummy tuck, breast augmentation, etc.): Most plastic surgeons recommend waiting about 2 weeks before resuming coffee or tea. This is because caffeine can cause dehydration and may interfere with pain management or medication.
2. Liposuction: For liposuction, the recommendation might be slightly more lenient, but it’s still best to wait at least 1-2 weeks. Caffeine can potentially increase bleeding and affect your body's ability to heal properly.
Always follow the specific recommendations of your plastic surgeon or healthcare provider, as they may have recommendations based on your individual case. If you have any concerns or symptoms, it's best to consult with them directly.
