Many of the women on the facelift forums say they took Arnica and Bromelain prior to their facelift to help with swelling. Others say their doctors told them that was nonsense and just to avoid salt, alcohol, too much sugar and anything that causes bleeding like Vit E, aspirin, Ibuprofen etc. SO: Do any doctors here think that Arnica/Brom actually work? I'm extremely skeptical about supplements and think they are mostly just nonsense.
I have nasal allergies and I take perscription meds and an over the counter Claritin. Ragweed is one of my many allergies. I put some Arnica cream around my eyes for swelling from allergies and 3 hours later they were super swollen and red. Day 3 now the skin is peeling and itchy and still some swelling. I put some on the back of my hand and on my neck, nothing no reaction. So I'm thinking after surgery just don't put it around my eyes or should I avoid it altogether? What about the pills?
Hi, 7 months ago I was involved on a car accident, hit my face against the passanger side.The doctor said an hematoma was formed.Went down from what it was the first 4mts, I went to a Plastic Surgeon 3 mts ago. My last visit was 2 months, she said it will go down by itself, an no longer need to see me, but my problem is still hurts and is not goin down anymore. I applied Arnica cream, I read online it helps but no luck.Will go down completely?Should I wait more time or look for another Doctor?
