I would ask my doctor but he did not return my call on Saturday, my procedure was on Friday and I have yet to receive a follow up call so that I can ask. (I guess because it's Memorial Day weekend!?) I also need to know If this on and off stinging at the ends of my incision normal and perhaps due to the healing process? Stings and itches on and off.

Answer: Heating Pad I personally don't recommend using a heating pad after surgery. The surgical site is often numb and there is a chance that you can burn yourself. You should call your doctor and discuss this with them. Good luck.

Answer: Do not use a heating pad I absolutely DO NOT suggest using a heating pad. Unfortunately without more information, it is difficult to advise you, but remember that you just had surgery. You probably have some decreased sensation around your incision. You can easily burn yourself using a heating pad and not even feel the burn due to this decreased sensation. I would suggest you call your plastic surgeons office again.
