How Can I Recover Faster from Cheek Implants?

February 20, 2009
Asked By:rioizphils in manila philippines

I had my lower blepharoplasty (fat sparing) on January 23 and I had heavy bruising on the right eye. I even had blood shots at the sclera. It slowly went away though. On Feb 17, I had my cheek implants done and now I am so swollen at my jowls. I am taking Bromelain, Vitamin C, Arnica, how could I make the recovery speedy? Could diuretics and Vitamin K Menadione also affect my recovery?
