Product Recommendations to Optimize Healing After My Surgery?

Recommendations to Fade Bruises:

For many patients, a common question is how they may bruise and if there are any recommendations to minimize bruising. We recommend the following products to our patients: Skinuva Bruise , Skinuva Bruise Advanced Recovery Cream, and Alastin INhance Post-Injection Serum.

Skinuva Bruise - an FDA-registered, homeopathic Arnica supplement that helps reduce bruising, swelling, and pain from surgeries, cosmetic procedures, and injuries. Skinuva Bruise can be taken the night before the procedure. Dosage is usually 1 capsule twice daily for 7 days unless prescribed differently by Dr. Mettu.

Skinuva Bruise Advanced Recovery Cream - a topical Arnica recovery cream that helps reduce the appearance of bruising, swelling, and pain from surgeries, cosmetic procedures, and injuries. We recommend using it consistently 2–3 times daily until the bruise, swelling, or discomfort subsides—typically for 7–14 days.

ALASTIN INhance Post-Injection Serum with TriHex Technology - a serum designed to complement injectable treatments like dermal fillers; formulated with ChromaFADE Technology™ to help improve the appearance of skin post-injection. This product can also be used for topical application after surgery to reduce bruising and swelling.

Recommendations to Reduce Scars:

Another concern is how to reduce any scars or prevent scars. For upper blepharoplasty patients, the surgery technique hides scarring in the natural folds of the eyelid crease. However, during the healing process many patients ask for recommendations to speed up recovery and reduce scars. We recommend Skinuva Scar - Skinuva’s best-selling scar cream for improving the appearance of surgical and injury scars and stretch marks and optimizing the skin after laser, microneedling, and chemical peel treatments.

It is recommended to begin using Skinuva 2-3 weeks post-procedure or when the incision site has completely closed. For optimal results, apply Skinuva Scar twice a day, morning and night, on clean, dry skin for at least 3-6 months. Sunscreen and cosmetics may be worn over. Skinuva Scar can be used on scars of any age, although it is within the first 12 months of the scar forming that Skinuva Scar provides the most optimal benefits.
