I am on my third week of recovery following a facelift. So, naturally, even though my swelling has somewhat subsided, there is still quite a bit of it around (luckily my bruising was minimal, only of the yellowish kind, and merely lasted about ten days, give or take). Could acupuncture help speed up the reduction of swelling? Have any of your patients tried it? Thank you, doctors, for your help.
