swelling! hair! health!

Will try witch hazel for bruises myself as I have similar problems with this on my legs – thanks for the tip!!

Thats great sbeez, im glad you like your new do!

So nice to hear you`re happy with your haircut! Glad I could help 🙂

Your haircut sounds lovely. You should be able to get Arnica at health shops and most chemists.

thanks guys!
I just had my hair cut today and yes, i went for a side swept fringe and it looks great! good info Elmo! however i cut my hair pretty short (almost like a boy cut) but thanks to Tony & Guy it actually looked better than when i had medium length hair!

As for arnica it sounds like this might help a tad (i`ll have to check for my closest seller) but i guess the best method is alot of R&R!

Witch Hazel is another great one for bruising. Hope you get well soon, sbeez. 🙂

Elmo`s right, arnica is great for swelling and bruising. You can get a gel, cream and tablets, I`d recommend that you use the tablets and the cream or gel for the best results. I hope you start feeling better soon!

Sorry sbeez – sounds like you had a similar op to my sister! She had a jaw operation several years ago (where they had to break her jaw and re-allign it) – and unfortunately you really just have to wait it out! It`s a lot of trauma for your body to go through – I know it took 6 weeks for her to recover? Though she did have to go to her yr 11 formal still a little swollen!

I wouldn`t have thought ice would do much as I thought that only worked immediately after injury, I could be wrong though.
.
I think there`s a natural cream called arnica which is good for bruising – but not sure about swelling?
.
As for you hair – I`d have it as long as possible – it`s more slimming that way (rather than having a bob or something which will just make your face look rounder!) – perhaps with a side swept fringe to skim your face also.
.
If your face isn`t too sore you could try maybe contouring with some bronzer to create the illusion of slimmer cheeks etc until your swelling goes down?
.
As for vitamins, prob is best to check with your doctor but as long as you`re not on any other medication I`m sure taking basic vitamins like vit c would be ok?

ah ic ic.
hmm i guess it would be best to ask my doctor about the vitamins to be safe! siigh* if only there was a magical de-swelling product…if only~
ive been doing pretty much just as you`ve said style queen by putting ice packs on my cheeks… its helped a bit!

hey sbeez, welcome to beautyheaven! 🙂 . i think vitamin suppliments would be a great idea if you have been on liquids since your operation. i am not sure about the swelling, but you could try holding ice covered in a thin towel over it? i think you should ask your doctor thoguh before taking any advice you might receive on beautyheaven just to be sure! i will have a bit of an investigation and see if i can find anything for you.
