Hello. I had rhinoplasty done yesterday and my eyes are extremely puffy and dark. How many times a day and for how long should I put a cold compress on them? Also, I start school in 2 weeks and I'm hoping the dark circles go away but if they don't is it okay to wear makeup over them or will it affect my results
