Thank you for your question. Please rest assured that some degree of discomfort is normal after Silhouette Soft. I advise my patients this can sometimes take up to a month to settle. I would recommend using Paracetamol regularly until you are comfortable, making sure you stay within safe dosage limits. I don’t recommend Ibuprofen in the early stages of healing because of the bruising risk, but if you are still feeling swollen it may be helpful to add this in for a few days. You can also buy CoCodamol over the counter at your local pharmacy - if your pain is more severe then this may be helpful, but please remember not to take extra paracetamol with CoCodamol.We would always recommend to our patients to come back for a review weeks post procedure with their treating practitioner so that they can check that the healing process is progressing as it should be. Good luck with your recovery, and I hope you’re delighted with your results!
Sorry to hear you having some pain 10 days after the procedure. I would advise paracetamol +- low dose codeine if needed for the pain. A cold compress is always helpful9/10 times patient discomfort settles very quickly; Transient stinging is quite common Im assuming you have a 2 week review with your treating practitioner booked? If not please call and arrange so they can check everything is healing as it should and treat accordingly.Hope all settles well and that you are pleased with the result.
