Ice Post-op Recovery & Fibrosis
What is ICE Post-Op Recovery?
Icing after surgery is a common practice used to minimize inflammation and alleviate pain. Although a certain level of inflammation is essential for the healing process, excessive inflammation can lead to swelling and discomfort. By applying ice, the blood vessels in the treated area constrict, resulting in reduced blood flow. As a result, inflammation is controlled, leading to a more comfortable recovery experience.
