How can I decrease swelling after tickle lipo ? I'm 12 days post op and I feel like my abdomen is as hard as a rock. I wear my compression garment 23 hrs a day. Is there anything that can help for faster healing.

Answer: Faster healing Both arnica and bromelain (found in fresh pineapple) are natural supplements that may reduce inflammation and bruising after surgery.

Answer: Rx time There is no way to speed up healing.I personally see no reason to manipulate or decrease swelling.It is a normal part of the healing process, and it's part of a normal inflammatory response that is necessary for healing.The only intervention that can possibly decrease swelling is taking anti-inflammatory steroids and continue using the pressure garment.Be patient, and the results will follow.What you describe is typical.Follow up with your plastic surgeon.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
