Vitamins to take before breast augmentation?

Hi there, thank you for your question. There is no need to take vitamins before any surgery and we suggest patients to stop taking vitamins, supplements, etc. at least 1 week before the surgery.

Dear Intelligent,
Assuming you are healthy, there are no peer reviewed papers that corroborate taking "extra" vitamins positively impact the result of a breast augmentation. In fact, taking certain "extra vitamins or herbal supplements" may negatively impact your outcome. I provide my patients a list of OTC medications that they should avoid to minimize the chance of complications after a breast augmentation.
You should discuss all medications, vitamins or herbal supplements you are taking or plan to take prior to your surgery with your doctor.
Sincerely,
