Hi everyone! It's Qing. A few days ago, I had a minor aesthetic procedure done in Seoul, and my face is still a bit swollen and bruised. Although the doctor provided instructions, I'd love to hear about everyone's real-life experiences. Has anyone here shared their recovery routine? For example, how should I alternate between cold and hot compresses, and when is the best time to start? Are there any specific dietary precautions I should take? I've heard some people pay close attention to their salt intake; I'm not sure if that's actually helpful.
Also, I wanted to ask everyone how long it usually takes for this kind of swelling and bruising to noticeably subside? I'm a little anxious and would like to know the general timeline. Of course, I understand that everyone's body is different, and recovery speed can vary. If you have any recommendations for gentle skincare products or effective tips, please feel free to share them too~ Thank you so much!

I also just finished a minor procedure last week and experienced swelling too! From my experience, sleeping with a high pillow really helps a lot in reducing swelling, especially in the first few days. Hope you get well soon! 😊
Oh, I totally get how you feel! I just went through something similar. Honestly, the first step is patience and waiting it out. Some people mention using cold water and other things, but I'm not really sure how effective they are. You might need to ask a doctor because everyone is different. 🙏
