Its been a week since my fat injection to my left breast. Can I apply ice to reduce swelling?

I generally don't recommend ice for breast patients as the implant is so far from the skin surface it does little good nor is it helpful after the point of maximum swelling, after the first 3 days.Discuss this with your surgeon and follow his directions!#iceaftersurgery#breastaugmentation#BA

Ice may not be the best option after fat grafting.  A popular treatment called Coolsculpting works by cooling fat cells to eliminate them.  Although we don't have good proof that ice could affect things, you may want to discuss with your surgeon before doing this.  

Intermittent ice may help ease the swelling. Another option may be to take Arnica supplements or SwellX for the postoperative edema. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
