How do you all deal with swelling and bruising after minor procedures?

Haha, I totally understand how you feel! I didn't expect the swelling to be so bad last time either. Ice packs are really important. I kept ice packs on for the first three days, and then gradually switched to warm compresses, which helped. You can ask the clinic for their advice, because different treatments might have slightly different approaches.

Hey Yuka! Did you find that avoiding certain foods actually made a difference with the swelling, or was it more about just being patient with the ice/heat routine? I'm curious what people's experience has actually been like vs. what the clinic recommends 😅

Yuka, what method did you use to reduce swelling? I'm also experiencing swelling and bruising, and I'm not sure whether to apply a cold or warm compress first 😅

I'm also considering doing something similar, so this comment is very helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience; I'll remember to mentally prepare for the swelling and bruising 😅

I'm also considering a similar treatment, and seeing your sharing makes me feel more at ease! It sounds like ice packs are really important. I look forward to seeing how you relieved the swelling later, because I'm also worried about makeup during the recovery period 😅
