Ladies, does anyone have experience with aftercare for minor cosmetic procedures?

Lately, I just had a small procedure done and am currently in the recovery phase. I'm a bit worried about the bruising and swelling afterward, although the doctor said it's normal. Ladies who have gone through something similar, can you share your experiences to help me out? I'm looking for ways to properly care for myself and recover quickly.

I've seen many care methods that people mention, but I'm not sure which ones are truly effective. Has anyone tried simple tips like cold compresses, drinking plenty of water, or products to reduce bruising? I'm especially curious about daily routines to support the recovery process without causing any damage.

I hope those with experience can share practical advice. I've heard a lot, but I just want to hear from those who have been through it to know what to trust the most! Thanks in advance!
