I had a rhinoplasty yesterday and I look like a raccoon that went 3 rounds with Mike Tyson. Is there anything I can do to speed up the fading of the bruises or do you just need to ride them out once you have them?
Sorry I am so short but I feel like crap so I will leave it at that.
Thanks for your help.
Don’t know if it will help once the bruising is in place , but we have on many occassions pre-empted a bruise on my accident prone brother by rubbing the affected area with butter. I have no idea why that would work, but various bangs that should have produced great colouration haven’t with this method.
Try some arnica montana! It’s used after many plastic surgeries to cut down on bruising and help heal faster. I believe you can get it at different health stores, and a good arnica montana product is SinEcch. I know this is used frequently for breast augmentations, and I’m pretty sure it is also utilized post rhinoplasty. Check out http://www.yestheyrefake.net and go to their Rhinoplasty section - they should have a whole section on recovery, and they have a message board where you can ask other rhinoplasty patients/veterans questions and get advice.
My friend swears by eating pineapple. I hadn’t heard about it before either.
