Hi, this is Kaori. I recently had a minor cosmetic procedure in Seoul, but I'm experiencing more swelling and bruising than I expected... I'm posting this to ask for advice from those with experience regarding aftercare back in Japan.

I understand that it's important to apply ice for a few days after the procedure, but how often should I do it for maximum effectiveness? Also, are there any precautions I should take to reduce swelling? I'd love to hear from anyone who has made any adjustments regarding hydration or diet.

I still have some bruising, and I'm worried about how long it will take before I can cover it with makeup... I know it varies from person to person, but I'd appreciate it if you could tell me what your recovery schedule was like. I'd also like to know if there's anything I should avoid in my daily life.
