Silagen's Arnica-Bromelain Complex Testing

Hi Everyone,

I'm having lipo revision on Wednesday, 02/12/2020. The area to be lipo'd is the bra bulge under my arms (see attached Photos). As a RealSelf Insider, I was invited to test Silagen Rapid Recovery System Arnica-Bromelain Complex. From my own knowledge, I know that arnica helps to prevent or diminish bruising and bromelain helps to reduce swelling. It's in pill form and about the size of a multiple vitamin. The instructions say to take 1 tablet twice a day starting immediately after the procedure. The bottle I have, has enough for a 7-day course. I've had prior lipo and got quite a bit of bruising. I'm excited to try this product and report back how it worked for me.

The treatment cost for Silagen Rapid Recovery System Arnica-Bromelain Complex is $40.

I received this complimentary treatment through the RealSelf Insider program.

Chickened out of Lipo revision

Soooo, since I began this review, I have changed what I'm doing. I backed out of the lipo due to anxiety that having the same doc who botched my BL/BA do a revision of the lipo she missed in my original breast surgery. I wanted to complete this trial and review, so I opted to make an appointment for 2/15/20 with my favorite injector and get more botox and a major update with filler. My favorite injector is Michelle at Tacoma Laser Clinic. She uses cannulas with most of her injections. I bruise pretty easy in my face and figured fillers would be good to do to see how Silagen tabs worked. Posted with this update is my before photos.

My appointment Michelle at Tacoma Laser Clinic was the last of day. Michelle sat with me to discuss what I wanted. A few months ago, she injected dissolver solution under my right eye to get rid of a terrible filler I got from another place back in 2012. It was time to fill it back in. I also wanted to see a bit of a difference under my left eye as well and plump up my lips a bit. She used a cannula to inject from my temple area and layered filler in my upper cheek area as some in my wells. She also used a cannula build up my lips, and a needle to create a fine edge and to enhance my cupid's bow. As for botox, Michelle has been treating my super strong forehead muscles, my crows feet, and my TMJ issues. This time she added in a bit for a lip flip, some to relax my chin, and the bunny nose muscles. I have been very good not to take any blood thinner type products, but I still bled quite a bit. It looked as though I was going to bruise all over my face. My appointment lasted 2 hours as Michelle filled a little here and there, then did some more. I took my first Silagen tablet as soon as I left her office. Photos are from 2 hours after I took the first Silagen tablet.
