Aquacool Face Mask - Does It Really Help to Reduce Bruising and Swelling After a Facelift and Lower Eye Lift?

August 10, 2012
Asked By:seekingsurgeon in new york city

Does this machine work better than frozen peas? I'm interested in having as little bruising and swelling as possible after facelift and lower eyelid surgery, and have been looking at these machines with that in mind. Has anyone had experience with these? If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks very much.

Answer: Cooling the face in the 1st 24 hours after surgery may help swelling a bit, but there is nothing special about any device.
