1. Aspirin or any analgesic (i.e., Motrin, Ibuprofen, Advil, etc.) or Gingko or other herbal/homeopathic/weight lifting preparations for 1 week prior to surgery.

2. Vitamin E or any daily vitamin containing Vitamin E for 1 week prior to surgery.  Vitamin E "thins out" the blood and can increase your risk for bleeding and bruising after your procedure.

3. Alcohol or non-approved drugs for 48 hours prior to surgery.

4. Stop smoking for two weeks before and two weeks after the procedure.  Smoking may slow your healing process.

No restrictions on gym prior, wait 2 weeks post FUE.  FUT not sure, maybe 3 or 4 weeks.
