Is it safe to put DMSO on a breast that has a breast implant to ease swelling?

I do not recommend DMSO or Arnica, though I am not opposed to patients using Arnica.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your questions. I would discuss this with your surgeon prior to doing it. DMSO is only approved in medical uses for interstitial cystitis. I would not recommend placing it on a recent surgical site and I would stick to remedies that have a proven benefit. Hope this helps!Dallas R.
