The Efficacy of Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) Wet Dressing in Reducing Eyelid Swelling and Bruising after Blepharoplasty: A Randomized, Controlled, and Observer-Blinded Assessment Study.
We explored the impact of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) wet dressings on bruising and swelling following blepharoplasty, a common eyelid surgery. In our study, fifty-eight patients were evenly split between two treatments: one side received a magnesium sulfate solution, while the other was cooled with ice packs. This setup allowed us to compare the effectiveness of these two methods objectively.
Over the recovery period, we observed that the eyelid swelling was similar in both groups initially but notably reduced over time. However, by the fifth day after surgery, we found that those treated with the magnesium solution experienced significantly less swelling compared to the cooling method. Additionally, bruising—measured by both area and incidence—was also lower in the magnesium group, highlighting its effectiveness.
Interestingly, a significant majority of patients preferred the magnesium treatment over ice cooling, with many appreciating the convenience and results of the wet dressing. This suggests that magnesium sulfate is not only effective in reducing bruising and swelling but is also a patient-favored option for recovery after eyelid surgery.

Quick bruise recovery

As a nursing mother, I lack calcium, which first affects my teeth, causing sensitivity. Since taking these vitamins, this issue has been resolved; my teeth remain intact without needing any healing. Last winter, I suffered a severe bruise that damaged my ligaments and joints but thankfully not a fracture. I believe my recovery was quite fast, and that's thanks to these vitamins.

Bruises reduced
I decided to take calcium because my teeth became weak after pregnancy. I can't comment on its effects on my bones just yet, but as for my teeth, I suppose I'll have to wait. I also read that a deficiency in calcium might cause unexplained bruises on the body, which I experienced frequently. Fortunately, those bruises seem to have vanished now.
