Nutritional supplements to improve recovery after body surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a nutritional supplement before and after surgery helps patients heal better and have fewer complications after certain body contouring or breast procedures. It might be a good option for healthy adults who are not smokers and don't have certain medical conditions or allergies.
