@kim.lee72: Bromelain Bromelain is an enzyme derived from the stem of pineapples. Numerous formulations of varying dosages are available for oral use. Bromelain has been used for centuries for decreasing bruising. swelling. and pain but there are even fewer studies that evaluate its benefit after cosmetic procedures/surgery in particular. A recent systematic review (Ho et al. Dermatol Surg. 2016) found that there was insufficient data to suggest that it is beneficial for use in cosmetic procedures. Side effects are fairly minimal and can include nausea, vomiting. diarrhea, and headache. #fyppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
