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! 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.

Thank you for the question and picture. You need to contact your operating plastic surgeon and text or email photos so they can evaluate and advise you. Good Luck
If the fibroids occupy or occupied a great deal of space, have the fibroids been removed or hysterectomy performed? Is the hernia more extensive than just the umbilicus? Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
If you were my patient, I would recommend stopping this and any other supplement at least 2 weeks before surgery. However, you should discuss all medications, supplements, and vitamins you take with your plastic surgeon and have him/her decide what you should and should not be taking prior to y...
When thinking of surgery always seek a board certified plastic surgery. If you plan to have destination surgery beware of the lowest price. Make sure you do your due diligence. If you decide to have a destination surgery I would advise you stay for a minimum of 2-3 weeks for your immediate post...
