Bruising After Surgery

Bruising is a potential complication of plastic surgery, vein surgery, or cosmetic surgery. In practice, many dermatologists and plastic surgeons avoid procedural bruising by employing a number of non-traumatic or preventative techniques such as placing pressure on the area after injection, cold packs, employing atraumatic technique, or the bruise-fighting supplements or ointments containing Arnica montana or Bromelain.

In practice, Dr. Karamanoukian minimizes bruising associated with Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, or cosmetic surgery by using small gauge needles, immediately applying pressure with a gauze sponge or ice pack, and the use of either Bruise-Pak chewable Arnica tablets or Bruise-Stick Arnica ointment stick.
