Using Icy hot for back pain after BA? 3 days post-op.

Always best to check with your surgeon's protocol and I would be ok with my patient using icy hot for their back 3 days after breast augmentation.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Thank you for your question.Icy hot is fine to use on an area that did not have surgery. I would still touch base with your surgeon today to let them know what is going on and see if they have any concerns or suggestions.

Using Icy Hot or any similar topical analgesic for back pain after breast augmentation surgery (BA) should be approached with caution and only with the approval of your plastic surgeon. Since you're only three days post-op, your body is still in the initial stages of healing, and the skin around the surgical area may be sensitive or compromised.
Before applying any topical treatments, it's crucial to consult with your plastic surgeon to ensure it won't interfere with your healing process or cause any adverse reactions. They may have specific recommendations or restrictions regarding pain management methods during the early stages of recovery. They might also suggest alternative pain relief methods that are safe and effective for your situation.
