Hey everyone! So I'm planning to get a minor aesthetic procedure done while I'm in Korea, but I'm flying back to the US like 5 days later and I'm honestly a bit nervous about managing swelling and recovery on a plane and during travel. Has anyone done this before?

I'm wondering what kind of aftercare products or tips people usually bring with them when they travel right after something like this? Like, should I invest in a good cooling mask or gel packs before I leave? And are there any general swelling management things that actually help without being too complicated? I'm guessing compression might be important but I'm not totally sure what works best.

Also, for the flight itself—any advice on what to avoid or what made recovery easier while traveling? I want to be realistic about my expectations and not push myself, but I'd love to hear from people who've navigated this. Thanks in advance! 💙
