Answer: Vitamins Before and After TT, Lipo, and BBL You will need to ask the plastic surgeon who will be performing your procedures. In my practice, no specific vitamins are recommended. If your lab work indicates that your hemoglobin levels are low, you may need to take iron. I recommend that my patients stop taking Vitamin E the week prior to surgery to prevent bleeding problems. Before and after surgery I recommend a diet high in protein to assist in healing.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Supplements before surgery The best way to prepare your body for surgery is to eat a healthy, balanced diet and maintain a regular exercise program. A regular multi vitamin can be added if you feel you are missing some nutrients. Some companies have developed specific vitamin programs to add micronutrients that help in healing that can be taken before and after surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your surgeon before beginning any regimen.

Answer: Mommy Makeover and Vitamins This is something you should discus with your surgeon. For my patients, I have them take a high quality vitamin (VitaMedica) for a minimum of 2 weeks before and two weeks after surgery. It does not contain vitamin E which is a blood thinner. Good luck!

Answer: Diet and Supplements Before and After Plastic Surgery Being on a multivitamin all the time is likely beneficial to you. A well rounded diet with fruits, vegetables and lean proteins is a good idea, in general, too. Vitamin C, iron, vitamin D are probably okay. I would not start any new medications or supplements without checking with your plastic surgeon. Also, remember that right after surgery is not the time to go on a diet. Your body will actually need more calories than it normally does because it has to heal all of your surgical areas.
