I have firmness and ridges in it and indentations On either side of my cheeks where I have have and continue with Bruising. Is there anything I can do about this? I continue with quite a bit of swelling and have been using ice packs. And mild massage. As well as Arnica gel. Initially following surgery I had a ridge on either side of quite profound bruising. Thank you.
