Answer: Ice after facial surgery The slight swelling will continue to improve and may take a few months to fully resolve. At this point in healing, ice may have little benefit. Warm compresses would be more helpful. The under eye area can be helped by slight pressure and gentle massage to help alleviate any fluid that might be contributing to the swelling. Best of luck to you in healing.

Answer: Swelling Post Op Dear Zibaroo5, Thank you for your question. I usually instruct my patients to use a cold saline compress as opposed to ice, to prevent from putting too much pressure on the areas. However, every surgeon has their own specific recommendations, so I suggest following up with them. The final results of your operation cannot be judged for months, it is important to be patient with your results. Best of luck to you.
