Can I apply icepack to my throat for soreness and swelling?

Question

I had a cool sculpting procedure yesterday on my throat (double chin). We had to stop the session because of a thermal event, at 44 min. I am somewhat swollen and sore, not to discomfort though. I also have a big hickie.

Thank you for your question. You can use an icepack on your throat after Coolsculpting. You can also take some tylenol if needed. I hope this helps.

It would not be a problem to use an ice pack on and off around your neck after your CoolSculpting procedure.  It could help to reduce your swelling.

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can apply ice to your throat to help reduce swelling which should resolve in a few days to a few weeks. You can also take Tylenol to help with any discomfort. If you have any other concerns please follow up with treating physician. Best of Luck!
