What to bring when traveling abroad after minor surgery? Seeking advice on swelling reduction and post-operative care products

As a fellow foreigner, I understand your concerns! 😅 I think it's best to prepare all the necessary items at home before you go, because when you're still swollen, it's hard to go shopping. Plus, a long flight can really worsen swelling, so you'll need cooling gels and moisturizers ready.

Hi Huiyuan! I'm curious, when you flew back home to Taiwan, how long was the flight? I'm also planning something similar and am really worried about how to manage swelling on the plane 😅

When I flew back after my last treatment in Korea, I brought some cooling patches and a hydrating mist, and they did help a bit! But honestly, long flights do cause some swelling, and I think drinking more water and moving around as much as possible is more effective than any product 😅 As for shopping in Korea, there are indeed many types of skincare products, but I suggest buying your usual favorites in China. In Korea, you can just consult a doctor on-site for recommendations, which will give you more peace of mind!
