Thank you for your question. Placing an Icy Hot patch should not be an issue. With that in mind, you're most likely in some sort of discomfort, so be sure to stay away from and blood thinners. Hopefully the topical numbing of the patch resolves any discomfort. I would still recommend asking your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon as he/she may have different protocol. Good luck and best wishes!
Yes. There is no problem with using the patch even up to 24 hours prior to surgery.Dr T
