Preventing swelling after rhinoplasty cast removal?

April 27, 2014
Asked By:jennygirl867 in Los Angeles, CA

I am a day away from having my cast removed, and I am reading a lot of things that say swelling can increase a day or two after.. Will laying icewater gauze over the nose help circumvent this... similar to how icing right after the surgery to prevent swelling works? Thank you!
