Would putting ice over my lower abdomen help the swelling go down sooner?

March 8, 2016
Asked By:R05E in Rogers, AR

Recently had a tummy tuck 2/26 to be precise. I had my drains removed today. I noticed and was also told by my surgeon that my belly was swollen. This question didn't pop into my head until now and obviously I'm not in the office to ask and was just wondering if ice would help any with the swelling? Or is it just best to wait it out for the swelling to go down on its own?
