Supplements and Plastic Surgery About half of all facial plastic surgery patients take supplements, including some which may increase bleeding risk, finds a study in the July issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Many patients are taking supplements that have been linked to an increased risk of bleeding, such as bilberry, bromelain, fish oil, flaxseed oil, garlic, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), selenium, and vitamin E. Many of these supplements can put the surgical patient at risk. It is advised that patients stop taking supplements at least 2 weeks before cosmetic plastic surgery to be safe.
