yesterday
Hello everyone, I'm Yuhan. I had a minor procedure a couple of days ago, and my face is still a bit swollen and bruised. I wanted to ask experienced sisters for advice on how to best care for it.
Right now, I'm doing cold compresses and sleeping with my head elevated, but I'd still love to hear everyone's suggestions. Are there any daily tips that can help reduce swelling? For example, are there any dietary considerations? Are there any activities I should avoid? I've seen so many different opinions online, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Also, I wanted to ask how long swelling typically lasts? I know it varies from person to person, but I'd like to have a general idea of the timeline. Has anyone experienced something similar? I'm really eager to hear your real-life experiences and small tips. Thank you!

I totally get how you feel! I went through something similar and was also confused by all the information. But from my experience, sleeping with your head elevated and managing stress (try resting for about 1-2 weeks) really helped. A bland diet and plenty of water also seemed effective. Swelling medication might help, but you should consult with your caregiver.
