I took the arnica pills before surgery and managed to not bruise too much. I am two weeks post op. Does arnica gel work for helping with swelling? I am still very swollen.

Answer: Arnica after rhinoplasty We routinely have our patients take arnica orally after rhinoplasty surgery. Though the scientific data on its use is equivocal, our patients bruise very little afterwards. Some have used the gel and feel it is helpful--the side effects appear to be minimal. I don't think Arnica has much impact on swelling.

Answer: Arnica gel and rhinoplasty I do not think Arnica gel helps much. The research in the medical literature is equivocal. There are no definitive studies that support its use specifically.
