Will Applying Slices of Potato or Cucumber on the Lower Eyelids Help the Healing Process (Swelling) of a Blepharoplasty?

Artist123
I had upper and lower blepharoplasty 12 days ago. I am happy with the preliminary results, but not with the swelling on my lower eyelids. It is going down but very slow. I wonder if applying slices of potato on my lower eyelids will help to decrease the inflammation faster. Thank you for your answer.
