I have low iron. Would taking an iron supplement a few days prior to filler help to minimize bruising? I always bruise when I get filler.
Answer: Bruising To help minimize bruising from your filler treatment there are things to avoid and a few you can add. Avoid blood thinning medications and supplements such as Vitamin E, fish oil, Omega 3, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc), and aspirin. You can take arnica and bromelain both before and after to help minimize bruising.

Answer: Bruising Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. There is some anecdotal evidence and theoretical basis to suggest that optimizing iron levels might help reduce the risk of bruising after receiving filler injections. Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells. Adequate oxygenation of tissues can theoretically support faster healing and possibly reduce the severity of bruising. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Answer: Iron may help your anemia, but it may not decrease your risk of bruising after fillers. If you don't know why you have iron deficiency anemia, you may wish to visit a hematologist to determine the cause. Sometimes people have bleeding disorders they can lead to low iron levels and iron deficiency anemia. I hope this is helpful for you, and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Answer: Will supplementing yourself with iron help with bruising Unfortunately, supplementing yourself with iron will not help with bruising after fillers. The best way to avoid bruising is to use a micro cannula when filler is being injected. Speak to your physician prior to the procedure to make sure that they have proper cannulas available ahead of the treatment. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman MD, organic plastic surgery
