To minimize swelling:
Immediately following the procedure, apply an ice pack over the
affected area. Use 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off while awake
for 24-36 hours only. If an ice pack is unavailable, simply fill a
heavy plastic bag with crushed ice or use a bag of frozen peas or
corn. Cover with a soft cloth to avoid skin irritation.
Use ice packs as directed only for the first 24 to 36 hours.
Reduce your activity as much as possible for the day of surgery
and at least 2 days after. Then slowly return to your normal
routine over the next 2 to 4 days. If you are active too soon
you will have much more swelling.
If possible, keep head elevated for the first 24-72 hours. Sleeping
in a recliner or with multiple pillows is best.
If increasing swelling or fever is noted after 3 days, contact our
office.
