Hi everyone! I just had a minor procedure yesterday and am currently dealing with some significant swelling and bruising. This is my first time trying something like this, so I'm a bit confused about how to properly care for it.

Can anyone give me some tips on reducing the swelling and bruising? I've tried cold compresses and sleeping with a higher pillow, but I'm curious what else I can do. How long does it usually take for the swelling to go down? I've heard from friends that there are certain foods or routines that can help the recovery process.

If anyone has been through this, please share your experiences, especially about when you can return to normal activities and what to avoid. Thank you in advance! 💛
