Hi everyone, I'm Utami from Indonesia. So I'm planning to try a minor procedure in Korea in the next two weeks, but I still have to work and have important meetings. I'm worried about the swelling that might occur after the procedure.
Does anyone have any tips on how to minimize swelling or at least make it go down faster? I've heard about cold compresses and elevation, but I'm not sure about the details. Also, regarding skincare and other treatments I should bring when traveling, what are the essentials? I'm afraid of choosing the wrong products and irritating my skin or making the swelling worse.
Oh yeah, I'm also curious about how long the swelling usually lasts after a minor procedure? This will help me plan my return to the office more realistically. Thank you for sharing your experiences!

I'm a foreigner too, so I understand your concerns! I think thorough preparation before returning home is very important — you should ask directly at the service center about recovery time and what you should/shouldn't do, because everyone's body reacts differently. Wishing you all the best! 💕
Hello! I also had a minor procedure done in Korea, so I understand your concerns. I'd like to ask what type of procedure you had? It seems the swelling time varies quite a bit depending on the procedure, so having everyone's advice might be more targeted.
