Ice or heat for swelling immediately following Breast Augmentation?

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

Never heat. Always ice because your trying to minimize the risk of bleeding that soon after surgery. 

Hello,I would advise that you ask your plastic surgeon, as everyone has their own preferences regarding post operative care.  This may be something that the office staff can easily answer for you over the phone.If you do use ice packs be sure to protect your skin using by wrapping it in a towel to avoid freezing injury to your skin.  Best of luck to you,
