How Can I Reduce Swelling More Quickly After Eyelid Surgery? (After Stitches Were Removed)

korean
I had upper eyelid surgery on June 28th and had my stitches taken out on July 3rd and i also had extra eyelid skin removed. i was jus wondering if there is anyway to make the swelling go down any quicker..? My doctor said not to use ice packs anymore and to do warm packs but i was hoping there was a quicker way to lessen the swelling so i dont have to wear sunglasses out everywhere and can start wearing make-up
