Hey everyone! So I'm planning to do a small aesthetic procedure while I'm visiting Korea next month, but I'm flying back home like 5 days after. I'm honestly a bit worried about swelling during the flight and just in general during recovery. Has anyone dealt with this before?

I'm trying to figure out what I should bring with me or buy there to help with aftercare. Like, should I look into specific cooling products, or is ice enough? Also wondering if there are any general care items that are easier to find in Korea that might help. I've heard people mention certain types of sheet masks or soothing products, but I'm not sure which ones actually help with post-procedure care versus just regular skincare.

Also — and maybe this is a silly question — but is it safe to fly with swelling? Should I be worried about that affecting anything? I'd love to hear from anyone who's traveled after getting work done. Any tips on what actually made a difference for you?
