Ice or heat? 6 days post mommy makeover. (photos)

Asked By:beautifulwren in Baltimore, MD

When I left the hospital the day after surgery I asked the nurse if I should use ice or heat for comfort- had a full TT with muscle repair, breast lift (no implant) and lipo inner/ outer thigh and upper/ lower stomach and flanks- she said just to take my meds and I would be fine. I feel like I should be using at least ice. It might be too late as I'm 6 days Post op. Can you confirm I shouldn't use either? Tons of bruising too (as expected)
