Hi, this is Sayaka. I'm planning to get a minor cosmetic procedure during my trip to Korea, and I'd like some advice on how to manage the swelling afterward. I'm sure there will be swelling after the procedure, so I want to reduce it as much as possible before I return home.
I'm especially curious about what aftercare products I should bring. Should I bring cooling sheets and soothing creams from Japan, or should I buy them in Korea? Also, I'd like to know if there are any swelling prevention measures I can take before boarding the plane or during travel. Has anyone had a similar experience?
I have about a week before I return home, so I'm also wondering how much the swelling will subside in that time. I know it probably varies from person to person... If anyone has had a procedure done while traveling, I'd love to hear about your experience!

I totally sympathize with your post because I was thinking the same thing! 😅 Swelling after a tattoo is unavoidable, but I'm curious how others manage the swelling while still having to fly home. It definitely varies from person to person, but I'd really love some tips!
