Hi everyone! So I'm planning to get a small aesthetic procedure done while I'm in Korea next month, and I'm a bit nervous about flying home right after. I know swelling is pretty normal, but I'm wondering if anyone has tips for managing it, especially since I'll be on a long flight back to the US a few days later.
I'm thinking I should pack some gentle cooling masks or maybe compression gear? Also, are there any over-the-counter aftercare products (like serums or lightweight creams) that people usually recommend bringing from Korea? I don't want to bring anything that might cause issues with customs, so I'm trying to figure out what's actually helpful vs. what's just nice-to-have.
Has anyone traveled shortly after getting work done? I'd love to hear what actually made a difference for you during recovery. Any general tips would be super helpful!

I'm also considering doing something similar and then flying back immediately, so your question is excellent! I've heard that cold compresses and simple skincare products do help, but I'm not entirely sure how to bring them through customs. I'd love to hear everyone's experience sharing.
