Many of the women on the facelift forums say they took Arnica and Bromelain prior to their facelift to help with swelling. Others say their doctors told them that was nonsense and just to avoid salt, alcohol, too much sugar and anything that causes bleeding like Vit E, aspirin, Ibuprofen etc. SO: Do any doctors here think that Arnica/Brom actually work? I'm extremely skeptical about supplements and think they are mostly just nonsense.
Answer: Arnaca Yes Arnica and Bromelin work in my opinion. I sell Arnaca Supreme which is a mixture of Arnaca, bromelin, Vitamin C and grape seed . This speeds up the healing process and provides optimal healing. My patients definitely see a difference and I sell a lot of it. I believe in it. Bromelin is pineapple extract and that also helps the healing process. Good luck!

Answer: Arnica, Bromelain, and medication restrictions for face and neck lift Thank you for the great question. My opinion on this is basically "every little bit helps." There is a marginal improvement in the realm of swelling and bruising with Arnica and Bromelain. I give a combination formula to all of my eyelid surgery, face and neck lift, and rhinoplasty patients. The restrictions around medications and supplements that can thin your blood is even more important, however. We tell patients to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, Vit E, fish oil, Omega-3, ginger/ginseng/ginko and St. John's wort. Take care and best of luck!

Answer: Bromelain and Arnica: Myth or Fact? There have never been any large-scale scientific studies, but in my practice, I always recommend that patients take Arnica and sometimes Bromelain. Why? Because postoperatively, my patient rarely have bruising beyond what I would expect as the result of my careful and precise surgery. Here is a helpful fact: it *has* been proven that placebos work -- and even if a patient is given a placebo and told it is a placebo, it still works.

Answer: Arnica & Bromelain benefits I find both can be helpful with bruising more than swelling. It's really a personal choice but neither are expensive and if they help even a little bit, why not?Kindly,Kouros Azar

Answer: Does Arnica Work Hi ~ Great question. There are so many supplements out there it can be hard to know which ones actually work! At our practice we do recommend Arnica Montana prior to many procedures. I feel it does help with bruising less so with swelling. It is also important to stop other supplements and medications that can increase your risk for bleeding. Good Luck!
