Is it safe to take anti-bruising supplements prior to surgery?

February 5, 2020
Asked By:siwo in Vienna, VA

I am getting lower blepharoplasty done and wanted to mitigate the bruising as much as possible. Can I take arnica or bromelain (or both) tablets prior to having surgery done and would that prevent bruising better than just taking it post surgery?
