Hi everyone, I'm Rui. I recently had a minor procedure done in Korea, and the doctor said some swelling is normal afterward. However, I'm going on a trip in a few days and I'd like to ask if anyone has any experience to share.
I mainly want to know how to best care for the swelling after the procedure? For example, when to use cold or warm compresses, and are there any precautions? Also, what kind of skincare products should I bring that are safe to use? I've heard that skin is more sensitive after the procedure, so I'm wondering if I should prepare any special products, or can I just continue using my usual ones?
Additionally, I'd like to ask how to reduce swelling faster while traveling? Has anyone tried any methods? I've seen a lot of information online, and I'm a little unsure which ones are actually effective. I hope experienced women can share their tips, thank you!

Wow, what a shame! We'd love to know if your skin is sensitive to certain products after the repair, because we're planning a trip too 🥺
Louis, it sounds like you were in the same situation. I was also worried about this issue since I came from abroad, but it was important to listen to the advice given by the doctor. I think it's important to choose a place wisely, no matter how you feel!
Hi Louis, I hope you're doing well! Swelling after a procedure is really worrying, isn't it? By the way, how many days after your procedure are you planning to travel? I've had a similar experience, and I feel like the measures you need to take vary quite a bit depending on how many days have passed... If you don't mind, could you tell me what you think?
Hi Louise! What kind of car did you decide to travel in after the procedure? I'm curious to know if the movement and travel affected your swelling or if it was the same 😄
I totally get how you feel! I've had similar small procedures done when I went to Korea, and I was definitely worried before heading out. My advice is to prepare some gentle, soothing products, and don't forget an eye mask or cold compress for the plane – they're really helpful. However, it's best to follow your doctor's specific advice for aftercare, as everyone's situation is different.
Hi! I also recently had a small procedure done and am currently in the swelling reduction phase. Did your doctor give you a specific timeframe for when the swelling should mostly subside? I'm a little worried about still being swollen when I travel and am wondering if I should postpone my trip.
I was also thinking about doing a simple procedure like that, so your article was very helpful! I'm also worried about the swelling afterward, especially since I have to travel, so I'm looking forward to advice from everyone here.
