SUBSTANCES TO AVOID PRIOR TO SURGERY OR INJECTABLES

The following is a general list of medications and herbal supplements that should be avoided approximately four weeks prior to cosmetic surgery (or one week prior to injectables), unless your primary care provider has prescribed them. There may be other products that you are taking that lead to increased bleeding. It is important to inform Dr. Sweis of all of the medications, vitamins, and herbs that you take so the appropriate measures may be undertaken.
