How long do swelling and bruising last after a lifting procedure? Is it okay to get the procedure done before an important event?

I would like to get a lifting procedure, but I am hesitant about the timing because I have an important appointment in a few days. The clinic says that most people can resume their daily activities afterward, but I am curious to know how long the swelling, redness, and bruising lasted for those who have actually undergone the procedure.

For those who have undergone lifting procedures such as Shurink, Volneumer, Ulthera, Thermage, or InMode, did your face swell significantly or feel hot immediately after the treatment? I would also like to know if it was to the extent that it could be covered with makeup, or if it was noticeable for a few days.

I would like to hear your experiences regarding whether you were able to return to work or go out immediately after the procedure, and if you have events such as a wedding, first birthday party, important gathering, or photo shoot, I would recommend getting the procedure a few days in advance. I am also curious to know how long any skin sensitivity or tightness lasted, and whether there was any discomfort in your daily life.

Please also let me know what care you took to quickly reduce swelling or redness. If there were any methods that were actually helpful, such as cold compresses, moisturizing, or sun protection, please share them.
