NMinimizing Bruising after Brow Lift Surgery

Regardless of the operation, pre-operatively I give patients a list of medicines, vitamins, and foods to avoid because they can thin the blood and interfer with natural control of normal intra-operative bleeding. I do have patients take Vitamin C, Arnica, and a Medrol Dose Pack. Having said that, follow your surgeon's instructions.

I have found a medrol dose pack and Arrnica 12-C oral as well as Arnica Gel to be the best at limiting post Brow Lift (and all plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures) swelling and bruising. You should ask your Brow Lift surgeon for specific recommendations.
