Hi! My name is Fern, and I'm planning a small petite procedure next month, but the problem is I have to fly back to my hometown the same week. Does anyone have experience with this? How should I manage swelling, and what items should I pack?
I'm guessing I should bring cold compresses and antibiotics, but I'm not sure what else I should pack. I've heard that traveling after a procedure can increase swelling. If anyone has tried this, please share your experience! I'd love to know what items I should prepare in advance.
Thanks in advance! Please reply! 💭

Hi Fun! I also have experience traveling right after the procedure. Are you planning to fly by any chance? I found that managing swelling is a bit different depending on whether you are flying or not. 😅
Hi Phun, I've been through a similar situation! Besides the things you listed, I recommend preparing a soft towel and saline solution for gentle cleaning. Most importantly, drink plenty of water and try to elevate your head while sleeping to reduce swelling, especially on flights home. Good luck! 💕
