Can I Use Ice Packs to Help Reduce Swelling After a Tummy Tuck?
thaianonymousMay 29, 2010
I had a full tummy tuck with lipo 1 wk ago & I have a lot of painful swelling. I'm wearing my compression garment 24/7 like I'm supposed to. I still have the drains in. I'm wondering if using ice will help with swelling. I haven't read anything here about using ice, but other sites say not to. Why
