Would Cryotherapy help with inflammation 6 weeks post op Lipo/BBL?

Question

I'm 6 wks post op and experience constant pain, stiffness, swelling and burning. I know everyone is different when it comes to healing, but every patient that had lipo/bbl same day as me with my surgeon is healing 5x's my speed. My lower back, stomach, and waist are killing me. I've already had 12 MLD massages and they didn't benefit me. I was reading that cryotherapy can help with inflammation. Is that true? Will it mess up my results? If this is not a recommended option then what is?

Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.
I don't know if cryotherapy will really improve your pain.  If you looking for options and willing to try it, then sure.  But otherwise, I think it may be a waste of money.  Have you spoken to your surgeon?  He/she is your best source of information.

Thank you
very much for your question. Every patient will recover at their own rate, and
at six weeks post op, you are still in the early healing stage, meaning some
discomfort and swelling is to be expected. I recommend bringing your concerns
to your operating surgeon. He/she best understands your medical history, the
exact technique performed, and your recovery process, so can provide the most
insightful advice for a speedy recovery.
