Hi girls! I'm Hana from the UAE and I've decided to have a minor cosmetic procedure in Korea next month, but I'm a little worried about the swelling and aftercare since I'll be back home in two or three days. What are the best ways to care for yourself in the first few days? Are there specific products I should bring from home, or should I focus on certain Korean products?
Also, what are the best things to pack in my bag before I go? Like ice packs, specific creams, or anything else? I don't want to take anything I don't actually need. And are there any products that help with bruising or swelling in general? If any of you have had this procedure done and tried it, and avoided certain mistakes, I'd love to hear about your experiences!
Thanks in advance, lovelies! 💕

Hi Hana! I've had a similar experience, and honestly, the most useful things are the cooling masks and face mists you can bring on the plane—simple but really helpful on the flight home. Also, bring good tissues and sunscreen, because your skin needs extra care while recovering. Good luck! 💕
Hey Hana! I'm also from the UAE and I understand your concern 😅 My experience is that the best idea is to be prepared with simple basics from home and not rely on buying a lot of things in the wind — reducing the number of badges and compression items helps better than anything, and cold compresses were truly my best friend. Honestly, there's no need for complicated things, but ask their team directly before you go to Korea exactly what you might need!
Hello! I understand that you must be really nervous, as you only have a few days left before you leave the room. I have been through the same situation before, so I understand your concerns very well. When climbing, you can take a simple cooler and a metal sheet with you as you wish, and I think it is most important to clean it thoroughly.
Oh my god, I totally understand your worries! I also came from abroad to Korea for my surgery and had to fly back immediately; those few days were really nerve-wracking. My advice is to bring a small ice pack and a soothing face mask, drink plenty of water the day before your flight, and remember to moisturize during the trip. This will help you recover faster when you get home. I hope your surgery goes smoothly! 😊
