How to care for swelling and bruising after minor surgery? Seeking advice from all sisters!

Hi everyone! I'm Yu, and I recently had a minor procedure done in Seoul. My face is a bit swollen and bruised right now. The doctor gave me some basic aftercare instructions, but I'd love to hear from those with experience on how they managed. Would anyone be willing to share their daily care tips during this recovery period? For example, how long to ice, when it's okay to wash your face, and what activities to avoid?

I'm a little unsure if my recovery speed is normal and how I can help the swelling go down faster. I've heard some people adjust their diet or use specific skincare products, but I'm not sure if those actually help. Also, do you have any daily habits or little tricks you used during recovery? Like sleeping positions, clothing, or exercise?

If anyone has gone through something similar recently, I'd really love to hear your experiences and advice! Thanks everyone~ 😊
