Hi everyone! I'm considering getting a small procedure done, and then I'm going on a trip abroad right after. I've heard there's swelling during the recovery period, and I'm a little worried. I'd like to ask everyone, how long does the swelling usually last after a minor surgery? Also, do I need to prepare any special skincare products before traveling abroad?

I've seen many people mention cold compresses and certain soothing products, but I'm not sure how to use them specifically. Did anyone bring their own skincare products? Or is it better to buy them in Korea? I'd like to know everyone's experiences, especially what I should pay attention to if I'm flying long distances.

Also, I'd like to ask if facial swelling becomes more noticeable during the flight? I'm a little nervous, haha. If any of you have experienced something similar, could you share how you dealt with it? Thank you all!
