Is there anything I can do to eliminate the bruising I developed after my liposuction procedure?
With any liposuction procedure, we do a couple of things in our tumescent or the solution that we inject, prior to doing the actual liposuction. Some of that includes epinephrine or adrenaline that will help keep the blood vessels small and keep blood loss to a minimum. We also add tranexamic acid. What this will do is also decrease the amount of bleeding that you'll have. Lastly, patients after having liposuction can be placed on arnica, an oral medication that will help decrease bruising after surgery.
