The Best Facial Ice Packs for Reconstructive & Cosmetic Surgery

Recovery from cosmetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, removal of basal skin cells, especially on the face, may require the use of ice packs to reduce swelling. A corn-filled ice pack is soft on the skin, not as harsh as ice cubes or a frozen plastic covered gel pack, provides comfort, and helps with the healing process.

The best facial ice pack can be found at Maine Warmers. There are actually two packets (2) of whole corn that come with a pair of their Hand Warmer mittens. Used one at a time, this soft flannel covered pack is the perfect size for the face. A "Corn Ice Pack" conforms naturally to the contours of the face, different than plastic gel packs that may be stiff, and with any pressure on a sore swollen area pain is a likely result. This "Corn Ice Pack" can be held on the skin with the outside mittens to keep hands from feeling cold.

Store in a plastic bag in the freezer for an hour or two until ready to use. With two of them, there is always

These packets of corn will stay cold about 15 minutes -- the recommended icing time.
