Tips for caring for swelling after a minor procedure + products I should bring with me for travel?

Hi girls! I'm Sarah from the UAE and I'm thinking of going to Korea next month for a relatively simple procedure. The problem is I'm flying out in about a week and I'm worried about the swelling and redness, especially since I don't want to have to stay home all the time.

What's the best way to deal with the swelling in the first few days? Are there any specific products that help, or is it better to focus on simple things like ice and rest? If I want to bring some things with me from here before I travel, what do you usually take?

Also, is there a difference between the products you buy there versus here? I don't want to buy expensive things, I just want things that are really effective. I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially if anyone has traveled after a procedure. Thanks in advance! 💙
