Are warm compresses good to do a few days after rhinoplasty?

April 20, 2017
Asked By:skinglowing in Boise, ID

I know it is a common recommendation to use icing for the first few days to help with facial swelling after rhinoplasty. However I was wondering if after a few days when you have stopped using ice, if warm compresses would be helpful? Or would they have no effect, or a negative effect?
