Many of the women on the facelift forums say they took Arnica and Bromelain prior to their facelift to help with swelling. Others say their doctors told them that was nonsense and just to avoid salt, alcohol, too much sugar and anything that causes bleeding like Vit E, aspirin, Ibuprofen etc. SO: Do any doctors here think that Arnica/Brom actually work? I'm extremely skeptical about supplements and think they are mostly just nonsense.
I had a facelift three weeks ago as well as having my depressor septi muscle cut to help prevent my nose from pointing downward when I smiled. How long will it take to get my smile back? Should I massage the area above my lip to help the swelling go down? I am taking Bromelain. Also, do I look like a candidate for a lip lift now? Is it advisable to get fillers in top lip at this point?
