Would it be ok to use Witch Hazel for bruising after liposuction?

Question

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

Haven't heard of any benefit of witch hazel for bruising after liposuction. I have my patients use arnica montana with good results. Discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question!I am not familiar with the benefits of witch hazel aiding in post op bruising. Any remedies should be discussed with your surgeon.Good luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is unlikely to improve bruising. Arnica and VBeam treatments may give improvement. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

mrsstaceybj1.   I am not aware of the benefits of witch hazel for bruising after liposuction or any other surgery. There are options to assist in decreasing bruising quicker, like Arnica,but I recommend you discuss these options with your board-certified plastic surgeon who is performing the surgery. Good luck.

Witch hazel will likely have not positive or negative effects at all on bruising after liposuction.  You may want to consider arnica montana sublingual tablets as this may offer some slight improvement in bruising resolution. Best of luck.
