Tips for managing swelling & bruising after minor procedures—anyone have experience?

Hello everyone! I just had a minor procedure yesterday and I'm currently dealing with quite a bit of swelling and bruising. This is my first time trying something like this, so I'm a little panicked, haha.

Can anyone share their daily routine for minimizing swelling? I've already tried cold compresses on the first day, but I'm curious if there's anything else that usually helps. I'd also like to know how long swelling typically subsides—is it days or weeks?

Oh, and regarding daily activities, what do you guys avoid during recovery? I'm still working from home, so hopefully, that's okay. But I want to make sure I don't accidentally do anything that could make it worse.

So glad to have a community like this! Thanks in advance for the tips 🙏
