How to care for skin after a minor procedure? Seeking advice from fellow beauty enthusiasts!

Hi everyone! I'm Yun. I just finished a small procedure and I'm experiencing some swelling and bruising, which has me a little worried. I wanted to ask how everyone else takes care of themselves post-procedure. I've heard that cold compresses and elevation are important, but I'm still a bit unsure about the specifics.

It's only the second day of recovery, and my face is still quite swollen. I'm using cold compresses, but I'm not sure how long is best to continue. What about diet? Some people say to avoid spicy and salty foods, but I'm not sure if that really helps. I'm looking for experienced sisters to share your recovery process!

Also, I wanted to ask how long swelling and bruising typically take to subside. I know everyone's situation is different, but I'd love to hear about your real experiences. Are there any little tips or precautions I should know? Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to hearing your advice!
