Brusing and Swelling After Blepharoplasty and Mid-Face Lift

April 11, 2009
Asked By:flirtbud in st. louis missouri

Three and 1/2 weeks ago, I had a lower Blepharoplasty and a mid-face lift. I am still swollen and bruised under my eyes. Why is it taking so long to go away? When will it go away? Also I just read about Arnica, so I just now started taking it with Bromelain. Will this help with my bruising and swelling since I did not start it right away?
