Is it ok to have breast augmentation while doing KETO dieting?

Question

I am on my Keto diet for 4 weeks now I ate fats, meats all the time but always have veg, exercise and bone broth, I have notice after my 2 weeks on Keto my monthly period blood is a bit confusing to me, normally before I did Keto my period only last 3 days and not much blood but since I started after 2 weeks my period came and I have to change lots of time of banking because of the blood, I’m wondering is if I have surgery will it make me bleed? Or should I stop doing keto? 14-12-18 surgery

Thank you for your question! It is not necessary to discontinue the Keto diet prior to or post surgery. I recommend discussing any specific medications or supplements you are taking with your plastic surgeon for further instructions on whether or not they need to be stopped. Best of luck!

Hi Conscious_Girl, I understand your concern. While there is limited study concerning dietary regimens and breast augmentation surgery, it is still best that you adhere to a well-balance and healthy diet to ensure that your body is well-prepared for the surgery and for the post operative healing and recovery. If you are concerned, it would be best that you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello, I recommend to all my patients that they be on a well balanced healthy diet around the time of surgery. Surgery requires increased calories to heal, if you are not well balanced, it could put you at higher risk for poor wound healing. Dr P

Hi Conscious Girl,
Thank you for your question! 
Each person reacts to surgery differently and it is best to consult your board certified surgeon in person. Explain your concerns and express your questions with him/he before your procedure!

Good luck to you!

Thanks for your question...Every surgeon varies with pre op protocol. I suggest finding a board certified PS for a consultation to discuss your medical history.You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.
