Did you use ice during recovery from plastic surgery? I'm reading conflicting opinions (imagine that).
Interesting that I also read a surgeon explanation for why the patient instructions vary so widely. He said among having personal preferences that work for the surgeon and his patients, medical care is a biologic science not a physical science. So, the recommendations are made based on your biology as well as the preference of your surgeon and the standard of care guidelines. Makes sense.
