Hi everyone, I'm planning to go to Korea next month for a minor medical aesthetic procedure and then fly straight back. I've heard that swelling and post-procedure care are especially important in the first few days, but I don't really know much about it. I wanted to ask everyone, how long does swelling usually last after the procedure? What kind of care do I need to speed up the swelling reduction?

Also, should I bring some skincare products from China, or can I buy them in Korea? A friend mentioned I might need some soothing or anti-swelling products, but I'm not sure what exactly. Can any of you share your experiences? Which days are the most uncomfortable after the procedure, and when can I go back to work normally?

Oh, and I'm still debating whether to arrive a few days early to give my body some recovery time before flying back. I'm not sure if that's necessary... Has anyone tried this? Feel free to chat with me!
