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?

Answer: Everyone is different, but it may take time for the swelling to resolve Everyone is different, so it is difficult to give you an accurate estimation of how long swelling and bruising takes to go away. However, after midface lift, you should expect an extended time for swelling and possibly bruising. Taking the Arnica Montana may help and it won't hurt - so, you might as well do it. Good luck with your recovery.

Answer: Facial bruising after surgery
Bruising is expected after eyelid and facial surgery and it usually resolves after 7 to 10 days. Persistent bruising and discoloration of the soft tissues can occur. There is really no magic cure as this will ultimately resolve on its own. Occasionally alternating warm and cool compresses can help as well as on over the counter herbal product, Bromelean. The usual antibruising dose is 500 mg twice a day between meals.
