I am having a mommy makeover in less than a month and I am looking into taking arnica Montana preop and postop. The bottle of Hylan's says 4 tablets 4 times per day. What is the recommended dose during the pre-and post op period?
Answer: Arnica dosage for pre and post surgical procedures I do recommend Arnica for my patients that are having surgery. Arnica is available in sublingual tablets and the dosage varies depending on the brand you purchase. Arnica may help patients with bruising, swelling and muscle aches. I usually recommend my patients start the Arnica two to three days before surgery and then continue for approximately two weeks after.

Answer: Arnica Arnica comes in different forms including creams and pills. Typically following the dose listed on the product packaging is recommended. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about questions you have as it's important that you are comfortable and confident as you prepare for surgery.

Answer: Vitamins Pre-Op and Post-Op With #cosmeticsurgery such as #abdominoplasty, we have our patients start on vitamins and supplements two weeks before and two weeks after. We prefer VitaMedica, as we know the content of these surgical support vitamins. The program includes Arnica and Bromelain. The best thing would be to follow the dosage supplied on the bottle, but if you are worried at all about the amount that is best for you then checking with your own PCP for the best dosage for your size and weight would be good. Best of luck!

Answer: Preop and Postop Arnica dosage? Arnica Montana is a homeopathic drug that is claimed to reduce bruising and swelling. Anecdotally, many patients and plastic surgeons feel that Arnica does have a benefit. There are, however, conflicting reports in the valid scientific literature about these claims. Bromelin (Bromelain), another homeopathic medication, is a mixture of enzymes found naturally in the juice and stems of pineapples and also purported to reduce swelling, bruising, inflammation and pain after surgery. This supplement, which is often taken along with Arnica, is also controversial with regard to efficacy. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon. It is critical that he or she should be aware of all medications, supplements, minerals, vitamins, and herbs that you are taking, because they may interfere with normal blood coagulation, healing, and anesthesia.

Answer: Arnica pre op. Yes, many patients and my personal opinion is that Arnica Montana may be be beneficial in preventing bruising. We have them start before surgery and continue during the first week afterwards. Arnica gel is also helpful for topical use over bruises.Bromelain may also be helpful (see below link)
