Does DIETARY garlic, turmeric, ginger, green tea, etc., heighten the risk of bruising following fillers?

While garlic, vitamin E, turmeric, fish oil or Omega-3 fatty acids and other blood thinning nutrients are commonly found in your diet, they are in small amounts. However supplement contain much larger amounts of the nutrient and can have a pharmacologic or drug like effect. That is why we don't put restrictions on diet but we do recommend to avoid certain supplements use, to limit bruising. 

As you mentioned, you'll want to avoid consuming these ingredients in dietary supplements.  However, the amounts that are present in our diets is not of concern.  Good luck with your first Restylane injection!

You are correct in distinguishing between items found routinely in diets and dietary supplements. You can eat and drink normally but avoid garlic pills and other holistic remedies which can thin the blood and cause swelling.

Many supplements such as Fish Oils, and Aspirin, and Vitamin E can cause bruising and I instruct patients to stop these fillers for 10 days before treatment with cosmetic fillers to avoid bruising. Please consult an expert in facial injections for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
