2 days post-op. How long does under eye swelling last after Erbium ablative laser resurfacing? (photo)

islamel
I am 30 hrs post procedure of: 2 passes w/ Fraxel & then full face Erbium Ablative resurfacing. followed by microblading and PRP. My only concern is the amount of swelling in my left lower eye lid. I’m drinking water, use ice packs, eat low salt, and sleep in recliner.The puffiness is tender&feels like a water balloon. It’s under both eyes, but the left is worse. I’m wondering when swelling will subside & if there are other tips for the swelling before I call dr. Also what’s the yellow oozing?
