Creams for post rhinoplasty bruising

Many surgeons use different things for bruising. I make sure my patients are off of aspirin, aspirin containing compounds, herbs, vitamins and other blood thinners to help avoid excessive bruising. Many patients will use arnica gel or tablets also to help with the bruising. I will look into heperanoid cream...always open to new tips! Best regards!
