Hey everyone! Just got back to my hotel after a small procedure and I'm curious how people usually manage the swelling and bruising afterward. I knew there'd be some puffiness, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to take care of myself over the next week or so.

Has anyone been through something similar while traveling here? I'm wondering about things like whether ice or heat is better, how much rest I should actually be getting, and if there are any everyday habits that helped speed things along for you. I'm trying to stay realistic about the timeline—I know these things take time—but I'd love to hear what actually worked for people.

Also, if you have any general tips about what to avoid (like activities, products, etc.) during recovery, I'm all ears! I'm planning to stick around Seoul for a bit longer anyway, so I have time to heal properly. Just want to make sure I'm doing things right. Thanks so much! 💙
