Yes for 2 weeks: Although the complete effects or interactions are not completely understood, it is wise to stop most herbal supplements for two weeks prior to surgery!

Yes.: Your plastic surgeon will have a list of “do's and don'ts” for you. Most of us recommend stopping all medications/herbs etc. ( unless otherwise discussed) at least 2 weeks prior to surgery. Best wishes.

Supplements : Yes, all dietary supplements should be stopped 2 weeks or more before surgery. Only essential medications should be taken within this time frame. It is critical to discuss your health history and medications with your surgeon prior to surgery. Your surgeon will provide you further guidance with respect to managing your medications and any other health related issues.

Yes: It is a good idea to stop all nutritional and herbal supplements before surgery to minimize the chance of having a complication like bleeding or even excessive bruising. Ask your doctor when to stop and when you can resume.
