Does Pineapple Really Help Reduce Swelling After Ear Dorsum Cartilage Rhinoplasty for Nose Tip?

    There is probably no difference in eating canned vs fresh to get the bromelain, which may help with bruising.  At three weeks, your body's intrinsic healing characteristics have a much greater impact on the swelling than pineapple.  Good luck.

Pineapple extract or Bromelain is sometimes used for swelling.  The studies do not strongly support this use and I do not usually prescribe this for my patients.

Hi.

Bromolein can help reduce bruising and swelling in the first couple of weeks after rhinoplasty.  You will not have more swelling because you did not use it.  Swelling may just take longer to go away.
