Arnica Montana and Bromelain in Rhinoplasty

Arnica Montana is from the Asteraceae plant family and is native to the mountain areas in Europe and western North America. It is reported to have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and vasodilatory properties and is often used in plastic surgery to help reduce pain, edema, and ecchymosis postoperatively.

Bromelain is a protease enzyme derived from the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus, which has been used to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain and may help to reduce wound healing time.
