    Ok, so 2 days post op my boobs feel like they are going to burst out my strapping and sing I want to break free any moment and my face is literally black and blue although parts are starting to turn yellow under my eyes are swollen I look awful! Can I start taking arnica tablets? My nose is still dripping slightly more with watery liquid but does have a bit of blood in it at times) worried that as arnica thins the blood this will affect it?
    Anyone know? Xxx

    I think days 2/3 is hardest and it gets easier after that….well thats what ive read – have no experiance as of yet. And most girls start taking arnica either a few days before surgery or straight after as it help with swelling etc. See what others who have had an OP have to say hun. Stay strong!x

    My nurse said not to take them and it does thin the blood and can slow down healing.

    Yeah as if the blood is too thin it takes longer for the broken capillaries to seal themselves out.. Maybe that’s why you keep bruising..Maybe at a later stage but my view is- the less crap you take into your body the better for it:)
