Tips for Managing Swelling and Aftercare Products to Bring When Traveling After Minor Procedures

Hi everyone! I'm Sinta from Indonesia and I wanted to ask those who have already experienced a minor procedure in Korea while traveling. So my plan is to get a small aesthetic treatment but head back to Indonesia in a few days, and I'm a bit worried about the swelling.

For example, to reduce swelling, what are the things doctors usually recommend or what you've learned from experience? I heard ice packs are really important in the first few days, but are there special products I need to buy there or can I use common ones? And for sleeping position, is it true you have to sleep with your head elevated?

I also wanted to ask, what aftercare products do I need to bring back to Indonesia? I don't want to buy the wrong thing or miss anything important. Do I need a special sunscreen? Can I use regular skincare products or do they have to be really gentle?

Who can share their experience? I'd really appreciate it if anyone has dealt with traveling right after treatment. Thank you so much! 🙏
