How can you reduce swelling after liposuction on the 10th day after surgery?

I had lipo on my chin (yeah, I know that's an odd place to have lipo), and I'm still swollen (which I know is normal) and it's the 10th day after surgery. I was prescribed 800mg Motrin, which has brought down the swelling considerably; however, I am still swollen and I need it to start going down a lot more! I've been massaging it, which I think helps. Other than the anti-inflamatories and the massaging, what can I do? Is there some kind of secret or trick that I can do? Thanks!

i actually think massaging will make it bigger other than that no i can't help sorry
A few sessions of lymohtic drainage massage by a specialized therapist. Its not your regular masage.
You could call your surgeon and talk with him about this. Massage may be contraindicated in this situation so you need to ask him about whether you should be doing this. 10 days post surgery is still very early and you are expecting too much too soon. Follow your surgeon's instructions exactly for the best outcome.
yes, use actipatch!
