Hi everyone, I'm Nhung. I'm planning to go to Korea to get a nose filler injection, but I'll have to fly back to Vietnam a few days later. I wanted to ask how long it usually takes to recover after an injection? Does swelling and bruising last long? I'm planning to go this weekend, but I'm worried that if my face is too swollen, it will be uncomfortable to sit on the plane.
Has anyone experienced this before? I heard that swelling usually happens but I'm not sure how long it lasts. I also don't know how many days before flying is best to get the injection. Should I leave 1-2 weeks, or do some people say 3-4 days is okay?
Thank you all so much! I'd really like to hear your experiences before I make a decision.

I've also worried about the same thing, Nhung! Actually, many say that swelling is very individual; some go away quickly within a few days, while others need a week or more. It might be best to ask the place where you'll be getting the procedure directly about their recovery timeline, and then consider flights—because I've heard that flying too soon can sometimes make swelling last longer. Hope everything goes smoothly! 💕
