Hello everyone! I'm Ngoc, and I just had a minor procedure here and am now in the recovery phase. I'm a little worried about swelling and bruising — this is my first time doing something like this, so I don't know what to expect.

I wanted to ask those of you with experience who have gone through something similar: how long does the swelling actually last? What should I do for at-home care? Are there any things I should avoid during the first week? I've heard I should steer clear of certain activities but I'm not entirely sure.

Can someone share their recovery process? I'm mainly curious about how everyone manages swelling and bruising, and if there's anything that makes it better. Thanks in advance! 💙
