Tips for managing swelling + what aftercare products to pack for travel after a procedure?

Hi everyone! So I'm planning to get a small procedure done while I'm in Korea, but I'm flying back to the US like 5 days later and I'm kind of nervous about the swelling situation lol. Has anyone dealt with travel right after getting something done? I'm honestly not sure how much I'll swell or how long it takes to go down.

I'm wondering — what are some general things people do to help with swelling? Like, is ice actually helpful or more of a myth? And are there any aftercare products that are travel-friendly that you guys would recommend bringing back? I don't want to show up to work looking like I got punched in the face, so any tips would be clutch.

Also, if anyone's traveled post-procedure before, what did you wish you'd brought with you? I'm trying to pack smart but also be realistic about what I might need. Thanks in advance! 💕
