Tips for caring for swelling and bruising after a minor procedure—anyone have any?

Hi everyone! My name is Gita, and I just had a minor procedure here. The swelling is quite significant and there are bruises in some spots, which honestly makes me a little panicked haha. I wanted to ask those who have had it before—what are your tips for reducing the swelling and bruising? How long does it usually take for it to go away?

I'm currently trying cold compresses and elevation, but I'm not sure if that's enough or if there's something else I should do. I'm also confused about my skincare routine—should I stop using all products right away or can I use gentler products? And what about makeup and sunscreen during the recovery period?

Also, does anyone know when it's safe to go back to my normal routine? I'm worried about exercise and things that make my face hot or sweaty. It would be great if anyone could share their personal experiences and advice! Thank you in advance 💕
