Is there anything to help with lipo bruising?

Typically with liposuction there is very little bruising.  I have all my patients take arnika forte starting a day or two prior and continuing for a week after.  compression is very important post operatively and will help with decreasing swelling and bruising.  ask your doctor for his pre and post operative instructions.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Bruising is often minimal after this procedure unless your dietary supplements, NSAID medications, certain vitamins, or history of easy bruising. Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However it may take 6-9 months to disappear completely. The compression garment helps reduce the swelling, and the longer it is worn, the more quickly the process will proceed. Some lasers and Arnica Gel may also help bruising from #liposuction.

Generally liposuction yields very little bruising. Patients on aspirin and similar drugs are asked to refrain for a few days beforehand. Bruising regardless of how significant has no effect on the long-term outcome.
