How long should I ice after gynecomastia surgery to reduce swelling?

uptown81
I had gynecomastia surgery 3 weeks ago, there was a hematoma on one side and that was drained 2 weeks ago. Dr said everything is looking normal. Bruising is mostly all gone but there is still swelling on both sides. At this point 3 weeks after surgery will Ice do anything at all to help reduce? if not and suggestions? i know it takes time but looking to expedite things:) I'm still wearing my compression all day
