Abstract

Objectives : In traditional Korean medicine literature, Succium(琥珀) is known to be effective in eliminating edema. However, pumpkins are misused in folk remedies to manage edema, because succium and pumpkin is homophony to 'Hobak' in Korean. The purpose of this study is to report the effects of Succium decoction on two patients with edema after plastic surgery. Methods : We treated two patients with edema after plastic surgery using Succium decoction. Numeric rating scale (NRS) of edema, photograph of changes in edema before and after treatment were analyzed to evaluate the effects of treatment. Results : After 2 weeks of administration, NRS for facial edema decreased from 5 to 3 and 2 to 1, respectively. Photograph of edema decreased after treatment, and there were no adverse events. Conclusions : This case report suggests that Succium decoction can be effective in treating edema after plastic surgery.
