Question:
Is there anything that can be done before and after rhinoplasty surgery to minimize bruising?
Answer:
Some of our patients like to use Arnica Montana, found and health food stores. We also recommend drinking pineapple juice for the week before and the week after surgery. It contains bromeline. There are not a lot of good peer reviewed articles on the subject. Also, no aspirin, motrin, nupirin, aleve, ibuprofen of any type, high doses of garlic, and ginko biloba for 10 days before sugery.
