Hey everyone! So I'm planning to get a small procedure done while I'm in Korea next month, but I'm flying back to the US like 5 days after. I'm trying to figure out what I should bring with me or buy there to help manage swelling during the trip home. Has anyone dealt with this before?

I know swelling is pretty normal after these things, but I'm nervous about being on a plane and not having the right stuff. Should I be bringing ice packs? Special creams? I've heard people mention certain products that help, but I'm not sure what actually works or what's worth the luggage space. Also curious if it's better to just buy stuff in Korea after the procedure, or if I should pack things from home.

Any tips from people who've traveled after getting work done would be super helpful! What did you wish you'd brought or done differently?
