Hi friends! I just finished a minor procedure yesterday and am currently dealing with some significant swelling and bruising. It's my first time, so I'm a bit confused about how to properly care for it.
Has anyone been through this before? I'd love to know what your daily routine is to help reduce the swelling. I've tried cold compresses, but I'm still not sure how long and how often is ideal. What are some restrictions I should follow? I'm worried that my normal activities could make things worse.
Also, when do you usually start feeling normal again? I'm planning to meet up with friends next week and I'm not sure how long recovery should take. Thank you to anyone who's willing to share their tips and experiences!

I hope you're doing well! Swelling and bruising are really worrying, aren't they? I have a question: did the clinic give you specific aftercare instructions when you had the procedure? I was in a similar situation the first time, so I completely understand how you feel.
