I don't find it as satisfying as other people do. Is it necessary?

Never put ice in it, I even put a hot thermal bag in it, which recharged like a smartphone, it worked perfectly for me

I like frozen popcorn ..had weight to it to keep it in place .. molded around the area .. held the cold pretty good.

Seems like most surgeons recommend icing to reduce swelling for the first few days.

I would trust the surgeon’s instructions over anyone else’s.

Ice is recommended by many on this site, but at my implant there was no mention of ice. I did some, but soon I wanted warmth.

I used bags of frozen veggies but not directly on the skin for the first few days after surgery, which helps reduce swelling. After a few days and the swelling was reduced, I switched to a heating pad, which helps speed up healing.

I never liked any sort of ice treatment. Did not use ice myself after surgery, never mentioned by doc.
Once my incision was healed and doc allowed me to bathe, a hot bath every morning was my "feel good" soreness relief.
