What Types of Medication Are Routinely Given for Swelling and Pain After a Brow Lift and Full Eye,face and Neck Lift?

March 27, 2012
Asked By:msmmi in sf in Pleasanton, CA

I have seen many sites where doctors have routinely prescribed NSAIDs for this. Is this a good option? Are there any severe risks associated with it? I have had experience with codiene and tylenol , and found it to be very poor at controlling these problems. If any thing, I experienced lethergy and sleep when taking this medication and little relieve for swelling or pain in long run. Can a menopausal woman continue to take hrt with small amounts of bioidentical hormones at surgery and postop
