Hi everyone! So I'm planning to get a minor aesthetic procedure done while I'm in Korea next month, but I'm a bit nervous about the recovery timeline since I'll be traveling right after. Has anyone dealt with post-procedure swelling while on a trip? I'm mainly worried about flying home and just getting through the first week or so.

I'm trying to figure out what aftercare products are actually worth bringing with me or buying there. Like, is it worth packing ice packs, or should I just buy cooling masks or patches when I arrive? Also, I'm not sure what over-the-counter stuff helps with swelling—is that something people typically bring from home or find easily in Korea? I want to be prepared but also don't want to overpack.

Any advice on what made recovery easier for you while traveling would be super helpful! I know everyone heals differently, but I'd love to hear what actually worked for you guys. Thanks in advance!
