To prepare for liposuction, there are certain medications and supplements you should stop taking to avoid complications with the anesthesia or surgery. These range from common medications such as aspirin and birth control pills to diet pills to Vitamin E and ginseng supplements. A complete alphabetized list is provided here.
It’s crucial that lipo specialists are aware of every medication and supplement that their patients are taking, including over-the-counter pills. Your doctor may advise you to discontinue use prior to surgery and specify how long you should avoid that type of medication.
