Swelling after surgery...

It's now been 12 days since I had facial contouring surgery I really swelled up a lot after surgery... They said it seemed like I wouldn't have much swelling, but suddenly on the evening of the surgery day, my period started, and then I swelled up so much They usually tell you to avoid your menstrual cycle, right? I don't know if it was because of that, but the swelling and bruising were no joke, so I worked really hard doing warm compresses. I also took half-body baths every day The hospital said there are people with worse swelling and bruising than me, so that comforted me a little, but I'm still so anxious I'm such a scaredy-cat, so it's amazing to me how I even managed to have surgery... I slept uncomfortably in short naps on the sofa, and from when I opened my eyes until I went to sleep I kept doing warm compresses, so the bruises are almost gone now... The hospital said they would last nearly a month, but I must have worked really hard because they were almost gone in a week... But this swelling really doesn't seem to go down When I look at reviews, even photos around day ten show people with much less swelling, but I really look like Dooly... I only go to the park in the evening fully covered up I can't go out during the day Yesterday I went to a restaurant to eat, and I even wore a hat, but people looked at me strangely, so I couldn't lift my head Young women noticed I had plastic surgery and whispered among themselves... Ah~ I was hurt... When will this swelling go down? Eating is uncomfortable too... I have to work, but speaking is also a little uncomfortable The thing I'm most worried about is that Lunar New Year is soon. If my parents see me, they'll be completely shocked, and my relatives too... My boyfriend says I look strange Right now my face is too big because of the swelling. I had surgery to make my face smaller, but I'm so anxious because of the swelling, so I'm posting this I thought people who have had surgery would probably know best Please give me some advice. I'm drinking pumpkin juice and diligently doing compresses, about that much, but if there are other methods, please let me know Please also tell me how long it takes to look natural I don't have much facial fat either, but my face right now is so puffy that I'm anxious
