Hi, I'm Yuka. I recently had a minor cosmetic procedure in Seoul, but I experienced more swelling and bruising than expected...😅
The procedure itself wasn't painful, but my face has been quite swollen since the next day, and I'm a little worried. The doctor told me that icing and rest are important, but are there any other remedies that you've tried that worked well? I'd love to hear about any experiences, like what to eat or lifestyle changes you made.
I have a work appointment within the next week, so I really want it to heal as quickly as possible. I've heard that bruising takes a long time to heal, so I'm wondering if all I can do is wait...
If anyone has had a similar experience, I'd be grateful if you could tell me how long it took to return to normal. I know there are individual differences, but I'd really appreciate any information you can share. 🙏

Hey Yuka, thanks for sharing! Did the doctor mention anything about how long the bruising typically lasts for the type of procedure you had? I'm curious because I'm in a similar boat with a work meeting coming up soon 😅
Yuka, I'm also considering a similar procedure, so reading your post was very helpful! 😊 It sounds like you're worried, but that's normal. Hopefully, you'll feel better after a week so you can see everyone again. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Yuka, have you tried elevating your head while sleeping to reduce swelling? I used to have puffy face like you, and I heard it helps a little bit 😅
