Could you please give me some self-care tips after the procedure?

I understand, Bua! I've been through the same thing. The swelling really does last a while, but it will gradually get better. Try drinking plenty of water and using an extra pillow when you sleep to elevate your head. Relax and be patient; it will get better in 1-2 weeks. 😊

I'm also a foreigner, and I had the same problem after my treatment, so I really understand how you feel! I just kept applying cold compresses and keeping my head elevated as much as possible, and rested as much as possible because activity really worsens the swelling. It should subside significantly within a week. Good luck! 💪

Bua, I'm also considering doing something similar, so reading your post was very helpful! Your basic care methods (cold compresses, head elevation, avoiding movement) sound very reasonable, and I'll keep those points in mind when I try it. Wishing you a speedy recovery before your flight back to Thailand! 😊

Hi Buya! I'm also considering a similar project, and your experience is quite helpful. The ice packs and head elevation you're doing are really the most basic and important things. I heard from a friend that most of the swelling usually subsides within a week. Good luck!

It's similar to what you said. When I first came, it was about 1 week. But I want to say that if you press hard on the swollen area, it might not heal quickly. So I tried to avoid sleeping face down, and it took several days to actually get better. 😊

Hi Bua, great work! I've had a similar experience, and it really seems like there's a big difference from person to person. Of course, icing helps, but when I slept with multiple pillows stacked to keep my head significantly elevated, the swelling when I woke up in the morning was completely different. Also, I felt like cutting back on salt had some effect, though I'm not sure why. It might be difficult for it to completely subside in a week, but I hope it gets even a little better 💪
