Hello, this is Sakura. I recently had a minor cosmetic procedure in Seoul, but the swelling and bruising were more than I expected...😅

The procedure itself was short, but I was surprised when I looked in the mirror the next day. Today is the third day, and it's still quite swollen. I heard that icing is best for the first 24 hours, so I've been trying different things since then, like applying warmth and just sleeping as much as possible. I'm also wondering if supplements or anything to improve blood flow would be good... but would it actually worsen things right after the procedure? I'm feeling a bit uncertain.

For those who have had procedures done abroad, especially if you experienced significant swelling, what did you do to manage it? I'd love to reduce it even a little before I return to Japan 😭 I'd like to hear about makeup techniques, foods, or lifestyle habits you paid attention to. Oh, and it would also be helpful to know how long it took you to feel comfortable going out in public after your procedure...
