I had a facelift with fat transfer a week ago. I haven't used ice since the first 48 hours. I still have numbness and swelling. I have heard conflicting reports about putting ice on my face to help with the swelling. I have been told NOT to use it because the numb areas are trying to heal and the ice will hinder the healing process. I have also been told I CAN use ice. Which is correct? Also, any great ideas to reduce the bruising or heal the process up? Thanks in advance!
