What pain medication can I take for painful and swollen chin 10 days post Silhouette Soft procedure?

I
am sorry to hear you are in pain. Post treatment discomfort is not unusual, but
this normally settles relatively quickly. I would recommend in your case a cold
compress and paracetamol. Low doses of codeine could also help if needed. I
assume you have a two-week post treatment review booked, and I would recommend
you discuss your discomfort with your clinician at this appointment if it
remains ongoing. If you do not have a review booked, I would suggest you look
to book one as it is important to have a review.

I am sorry to hear you are
experiencing pain after a Silhouette Soft procedure. In most cases this should
settle naturally in the very near future. I always recommend using a gentle cold
compress as a first step and if this isn’t offering enough relief paracetamol
or a very low dose of codeine should help. However, you should not take
anything which dampens the inflammatory process. If you are concerned you could
call your treatment provider or take a photograph and email it them asking for
feedback.  You should also be due for a
review with your doctor very soon, who will be able to assess more fully how
you are healing and offer more tailored advice.

Thank
you for your question. In most cases pain and swelling
after a Silhouette Soft treatment is minimal and should resolve itself in a few
days, although I am
sorry to read that you are still in pain 10 days later. Once everything has
settled, I am sure you will be delighted with your results. 
I recommend that my
patients take paracetamol for pain relief especially a few days after the
treatment. It is important of course to not overdose. Ibuprofen is not
recommended post treatment as it increases the risk of bruising. Low doses of
co-codamol can also be taken but remember to not increase the paracetamol doses
at this time.  Cold compresses can also
alleviate any swelling and discomfort.
 Do
you have a review booked with the practitioner that carried out your
treatment?  Your provider can then check that
everything is healing well and more than anything they can reassure you that
everything is fine. If you are concerned you could call
your treatment provider or take a photograph and email it them asking for
feedback.
