Do you have any experience with post-minor procedure care?

I just had a minor cosmetic procedure here and currently have some swelling and slight bruising. I know this is a normal part of the recovery process, but I want to make sure I'm doing everything I need to for aftercare.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? Can anyone share general tips on how to reduce swelling and bruising, or things to avoid in the first few days? I'm guessing keeping it warm, avoiding strenuous activity, and maybe using cold water are necessary, but I'd love to hear everyone's real-life experiences.

Thank you all so much! I'm really looking forward to some friendly advice from those who've been through it. 😊
