Did you take any of the arnica montana pills? I bruise really easily and these pills were amazing!!

Yup the Arnica really helped me too but its more effective right before and right after the trauma. You can also try rubbing an Arnica gel or cream on them, this really really really helped me!

i had an ugly ugly deep purple/red bruise under my right breast for over 3 weeks. I am 18 days PO and today for the first time i noticed it was finally all gone. give it some time and it will heal. if you are concerned just keep any eye on it and watch for changes. but brusing is totaly normal as you just had a pretty major surgery on your breasts!!

HTH and Happy healing

thanks guys! i've haeard about the arnica cream but wanted to know if it really works...I'm hoping to get rid of it by 3 and a half weeks as I'm planning on a night out

Hi, I bruise really easily so I did some research as to what I can do to stop it and I found out about Arnica tablets or cream, I haven't had my surgery yet but I am having rhinoplasty as well and if normal people bruise that much then my whole face will be covered in one big bruise so i'm going to be getting arnica before my surgery and hope for the best, sorry I haven't tried it yet to give you any results as to if it works or not but it's what i've been recommended so hopefully it does! Well good luck and I hope you find something that works for you :-)
