Minimizing Post-Surgical Bruising and Swelling with Vitamins

Bruising and swelling are normal and expected after any surgical procedure. To further enhance your recovery, we recommend an optional vitamin regimen and the use of Arnica to help manage post-operative bruising and swelling. Dr. Morgenstern and our staff suggest an effective vitamin regimen starting one week before your procedure and continuing for at least one week afterward. Key vitamins include the following:

Vitamin A-Beta Carotene
Bromelain
Vitamin C
Zinc (Chelated)

These supplements are available for purchase at the Morgenstern Center and at health food stores, and we will provide you with a customized regimen that directly addresses your unique concerns.

Alastin Skincare Procedure Enhancement System

The Alastin Skincare Procedure Enhancement System is specifically formulated to optimize results from ablative procedures. It strengthens compromised skin, reduces the risk of complications, and supports your recovery process. It’s crucial to use this system as directed by your physician, beginning 14-30 days before your procedure and continuing immediately afterward.

Reducing Post-Surgical Bruising with Arnica

Dr. Morgenstern and our staff recommend the use of Arnica, a natural remedy known for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to reduce bruising. Arnica has been used in homeopathy since the 1500s to soothe muscle aches, alleviate inflammation, and reduce bruising. At the Morgenstern Center, we offer two forms of Arnica available for purchase:

Arnica 12C Pellets: Start taking two days prior to surgery and continue for approximately two weeks postoperatively. Take as directed (five pellets three times/day).
Arnica Cream: Begin using postoperatively, applying to bruised areas as directed by our surgeons. Note that this is not a substitute for antibiotic ointment and should never be applied to open incisions.
