Thank you for your question.I would recommend wearing your compression garment as directed and to apply ice packs on and off for about 10 minutes. You may also discuss with you doctor about prescribing you a Medrol dose pack to help with the swelling. Some patients also do lymphatic drainage massages once or twice a week to aid in swelling and pain management. Other than that, time will be the biggest factor in your recovery. I hope these help. Best of luck in your endeavors.Sincerely, James Fernau, MD, FACSBoard Certified ENTBoard Certified Plastic SurgeryMember of ASPS, ASAPS, ISAPS, The Rhinoplasty Society, AAFPRS, OTO/HNS, ASLMS, International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics & Science
