When can I start taking pineapple or pineapple juice after mommy makover?

Congratulations on your recent surgery. I have no experience with using pineapple to decrease swelling. After surgery, my patients use a garment. Gentle external pressure helps decrease swelling. Make sure to follow your surgeon's postoperative instructions. They are your best resource. 

Congratulations on your surgery! Swelling is common and expected after a Mommy Makeover. Wearing your compression garment as directed should help. It should be fine for you to take pineapple supplements, Bromelain, or drink pineapple juice, but it is always best to speak with your surgeon first.

Congratulations on your surgery! I would recommend drinking pineapple juice immediately after surgery to help dissolve bruises faster. In addition, it will help you stay hydrated. You should also make sure to take a multivitamin and protein to help with faster healing. Lymphatic massage is even more powerful than pineapple juice at helping to reduce swelling and bruising and quicken recovery. Good luck!

Congratulations on your recent surgery. I have heard from patients too that they take pineapples and pineapples juice to help reduce swelling. Pineapples contain a specific enzyme called bromelain that can help dissolve blood clots and fade bruising. However, I believe pineapple juice and pulp does not contain high enough quantities of bromelain to help bruises and swelling after tummy tuck. I hope you find this helpful
