Seeking advice on swelling and bruising after minor procedures

Hello friends! I had a small procedure done this week (related to K-beauty) and have had some swelling and minor bruising for the past few days. I know it's normal, but I'm a bit worried – has anyone here tried this before?

Quick poll: what did you do during your doubt phase? Did you use cold compresses, or did something else help? I'm really taking good care of myself right now – sleeping well and not rushing around. Anything small that could help during this time would be great.

Also curious, when did you start looking roughly normal? Share your experiences with really feeling down about it. Looking forward to some good news! 💙
