Purpose: The aim of this study to investigate the effect of bromelain-arnica gel combination on periorbital edema and ecchymosis seen after open septorhinoplasty. Methods: Sixty patients who performed open septorhinoplasty with osteotomies were included to the study. These patients were allocated into two groups: in group 1, 30 patients as control and in group 2, 30 patients as study group who were treated with topical bromelain-arnica gel after surgery. Scoring of eyelid edema and peroirbital ecchymosis were evaluated on the first, third and seventh postoperative days using scale of 0 to 4 used by observers. Results: We observed that the administration of topical bromelain-arnica gel after surgery was effective clinically and statistically in decreasing the score of both edema and ecchymosis in open septorhinoplasty with ostetomies. In group 2 patients, periorbital edema and ecchymosis scores were significantly lower compared to control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our results support that topical administration of bromelain and arnica gel combination provided both clinically and statistically significant reduction in periorbital edema and ecchymosis following septorhinoplasty.
