Arnica

How many girls took arnica tablets before surgery? Do you think it helped in any way? I have some arnica tablets that say you have to dissolve it under your tongue?! Sounds a bit weird, not sure if I have bought the right ones!

I took them for a week before my op and had no bruising whatsoever, I would definitely recommend it hun!!!! I bought mine from Holland and Barrett for a fiver and you can either dissolve them under your tongue or chew them

I was told by my ps not to take any if i'd never taken it before, so I didn't and had no bruising at all.

I think you should always consult your surgeon before taking anything hun, they all differ in their opinions on everything, so it's always best to check.

its herbal, so it wont hurt, its just not medically proven, but defo worth giving it a go xx

I wasn't recommended arnica. I have a blood condition that means I bruise very easily but I still had hardly any bruising after the op. Won't hurt to give it a go though, you never know x

i used the arnica tablets from H&B for 3 days before my uplift and ba, and for 5days after, and i had no bruising at all, so i'd say yes, it definitely helped Arnica 991311

No I haven't seen your pics, would I be able to have a quick peek if you don't mind? x

I think I'm going to start taking them about a week or so before surgery and then carry on taking them for about a week after? Does that sound about right or will I need to take them for a longer or shorter period? But think I will take your advice Funkygirl and double check with the hospital and see what they say, but I think its worth a try just in case they do help, I can't see that they can do much harm.

HI Starz, congrat on booking your ba, my surgeon didn't want me to take any, so I didn't and I had no bruising at all.. I have used it in the past and I do believe in it, but I didn't want to upset my surgeon, esp if anything went wrong with ba I didn't want any comeback that I hadn't done what he asked.. maybe just run it by your surgeon, I knnow some don't mind and some do.. xxxxx

I was advised to take arnica, which I did for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after. I don't know if it helped with the bruiseing or not, but I fell over the week before my op and what would normally havebeen a really bad bruise on my foot was a very slight bruise that disappeared very quickly. So there must be something in it.
