Hi everyone, I'm Hesti from Indonesia and I have a question. I'm planning to get a minor procedure in Korea next week, but unfortunately, I have to travel again 2-3 days afterward. So I'm a bit worried about how to manage swelling and aftercare during my trip.
If anyone has experienced something similar, I'd love to know: what products did you bring for aftercare? Is a special sunscreen needed, or is a regular moisturizer enough? Also, for managing swelling, has anyone tried ice packs or cold compresses during travel?
I also want to ask, how long does it usually take for swelling to significantly reduce? I'm unsure if I'll look normal for a meeting with friends or if I'll still look very swollen. Please share your experiences, as this is my first time trying a procedure like this and I'm a bit nervous. Thanks in advance!

Wow, I had the exact same experience! I had to travel for 2-3 days. The ice pack was a lifesaver. I kept it in my cooler bag. And don't forget, sunscreen and moisturizer are both absolutely essential, otherwise, you'll come home with dry skin 😅
