I am having a BBL and breast enlargement surgery. I have heard arnica is great to help with swelling and bruising after liposuction. Is it safe to take before surgery or not?

Answer: Is it safe to take arnica before cosmetic surgery? Hello and thank you for your question. Arnica is proposed to help with faster resolution of post op bruising. While its efficacy has not been scientifically proven, we don't know of any side effects associated with it and it is being used by many patients. You should follow your surgeon's protocol.
