Raccoon eyes
I had the cold silicone eye goggles on before I came out of surgery and for the first three days wore the ice packs/goggles, so I don't think that would have made much difference for me. I chronically have a low platelet count which makes me more prone for bruising. Now that I have the bruising, I'm trying to figure out if there is some home remedy or Doctor recommended one that might help my bruises go away sooner. Thanks anyway!.....Barb

I'm really not sure but would tea bags help?
I had my uppers done a last year sometime. I remember going to a baseball game 6 days out and being glad that I could wear sunglasses. There was still some bruising at that time, but not alot. I did the cold compresses alot and took arnica and bromelain before and after.

Certain supplements, as well as pain meds that thin the blood like aspirin or ibuprofen should be avoided after surgery because they increase bruising, but other than that, cover the bruises with make - up designed to cover things.
Derma Blend (I found it at Macy's) is one that I used that successfully hid bruising. It's a little expensive, but works like nothing else.
