Hey everyone! So I'm flying to Korea in a couple weeks for some procedures and I'm trying to figure out what to bring from home versus what to grab there. I know the clinics will give me their own aftercare stuff, but I'm wondering if any of you have packed your own cooling masks, silicone scar sheets, or soothing gels and found them helpful?

I'm a little nervous about swelling and just want to be prepared, you know? I've heard some people swear by specific types of cooling patches they brought from the US, and others said they just used what they picked up at Korean drugstores. I'm not sure if it's better to stick with what I know or try the local products since everyone says Korean skincare is amazing.

Also wondering if anyone brought their own scar management stuff or if that's overkill? I don't want to overpack but also don't want to be stuck without something I need during recovery. Would love to hear what worked for you guys!
