Rhinoplasty Recovery: How to Minimise Bruising

I was fortunate in that I didn't experience any bruising after my Rhinoplasty, and only mild discomfort. This may, in large part, be due to the skills of the surgeon, but I also did some preparation beforehand. I read a few articles on minimising bruising and the common themes were to take Vitamin C, Zinc and Arnica Montana, as well as staying in general good health. 

I started taking Effervescent Vitamin C and Zinc tablets from Tesco everyday for two weeks before surgery and for ten days afterwards. I also took Arnica tablets(6c) from Holland & Barrett two days before surgery and for five days after.

This seemed to work for me, but everyone's different. Have a chat with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any of these supplements.
