Hi everyone, am having lipo from my thighs to reconstruct my breast. I know that I can expect significant bruising in the donor site. Can anyone tell me whether or not Arnica Montana could help to minimise this if I take it pre and post surgery? Have read a lot about this - some claiming it is hugely helpful and others say that it is the placebo effect. Grateful for any feedback. and anything else that others have found useful. Many thanks
Hi,
I have exactly the same question as have been offered lipofilling for reconstruction. Feel quite nervous about it but seems the best option.
Would be grateful for any words of encouragement.
Thanks
Hi there am actually going in today! So will let you know. My plan however is to eat fresh pineapple which apparently is really good for bruising plus use arnica cream and take the arnica tablets. I didn’t get chance to buy ginger shots which you can get from Holland and Barrett which is also good. Hope this helps!
