Thank you for your question. An ice pack is an ice pack. Whichever one you want to use is fine.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Any type of ice pack with cold compresses and ibuprofen will give improvement. Bruising and/or swelling can last 1-2 weeks after lip fillers. Hope this helps.

Dear liannelcb,Thank you for your question. Ice from your freezer, or any type of normal ice pack will work.

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Any type of ice will work. You can use ice cubes in a baggie or ice packs. It can take up to 2 weeks for all the swelling to resolve. Best of Luck!

Stanley Kovak, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Any type of ice or ice pack is fine, or even a bag of frozen vegetables, if you have that readily available. Ice for a few minutes a couple times over the course of the following day. This should somewhat help with the swelling and bruising, which will also dissipate over time.
