    While you are in hospital they will provide them for you, but once you get home you're on you own.

    I have no idea where to get any. Sorry

    I wouldn't recommend for you to waste your money to buy a jaw ice pack. As the previous poster said, the hospital will supply you with an ice pack during your hospitalization. Upon discharge, ask for several to take home. It's not recommended for you to ice your face too long so you don't need an abundant supply. When I was discharged I was given 5 and I only used one repeatedly. After day 3 post op I stopped icing my face. Hope that helps and good luck on your surgery! =).

    I'm getting close, I expect my surgery to be soon... I'm sure you can get extra ice packs as boatsink mentioned.

    I didn't use any ice packs once I got out of hospital, and I wasn't in too much discomfort, so it's not the end of the world if you can't find any...
