Herbs

Postby justasking » Sat Jul 26, 2008 5:58 pm

I am stopping all herbs prior to my surgery as per the patient forms and the nurse consultation.
The nurse said that some herbs thin the blood and that clearly you don't want that going into surgery. Likewise with aspirin, advil, and so on.
Is it okay to start taking my natural suppliments again after surgery?
Many thanks

if it is just fat grafting, you can start almost immediately after like a day or so. if you are having a facelift too then no for about a week after. ditto if you have eyelids done, then also about a week no go on the herbals. for all cases, nothing for a week before.
best,
