Dr. Palacio discusses common concerns patients have about bruising after surgery. While bruising is a normal part of the healing process and typically resolves on its own after cosmetic procedures, there are certain signs that should be taken seriously to prevent potential complications. In this video, you will learn what those warning signs are.
- Is my bruising going to be permanent? No. So bruising should resolve on its own. Everybody takes a different amount of time to heal the bruises completely and it depends on the type of bruise and the size, etc. But no, bruising is not permanent. What obviously is permanent is scars. You will have the scars from surgery.- For bruising, I personally recommend Arnica, as a cream and there are also supplement that can be taken.
- So when should I worry about a bruise? Well, first of all, bruising can be normal and is expected after surgery, but some signs that you need to watch out for are if the bruise gets bigger over time, if it hurts, like extremely painful, if it seems to be spreading, or if it gets really tight. Also, if you have fever or pus or something like that.
