My PS says to start drinking Pineapple juice so That when I go in for my BA surgery it will help to alleviate bruising & swelling in my chest area after my surgery. I want to know if that’s true? Can I drink a sugar-free juice? Is it better to actually eat the pineapple fruit itself? Can I take it in a grounded up capsule form? What is recommended to help w/bruising & swelling after surgery?
Answer: Pineapple and bruising and swelling Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples that has been suggested to help with bruising and swelling. Arnica is another agent that has been claimed that have similar effects. Both can be purchased in supplement form as well. While both agents have no harmful effects in normal quantities, they may also have no beneficial effects. I leave the choice to you. Hope this helps!

Answer: Bromelain in Pineapple juice Thank you for your question. I recommend both Arnica Montana and Bromelain extract to my patients to help with bruising and swelling. Not so much with my BA because they do not experience much or any bruising, but mostly for any facial or lipo cases for swelling purposes. The bromelain can be found naturally in pineapple juice or the fruit itself, or in pill form at a vitamin shop. Hope this helps, and you have a great recovery. Regards,Ernie Layton, MD
