Hey everyone! So I'm planning to get a minor aesthetic procedure done while I'm visiting Korea, and I'll be flying back to the US like 4-5 days after. I'm a bit nervous about swelling on the plane, honestly.

Does anyone have tips on what to bring in my carry-on to help manage swelling during travel? I'm thinking ice packs or cooling masks, but I'm not sure what actually works or what's even allowed through TSA. Also, are there any Korean skincare or aftercare products that people usually recommend picking up that might help with recovery? I want to be prepared but don't want to overpack either.

Has anyone traveled after getting something done? How bad was the swelling realistically, and what helped you feel more comfortable? Any general aftercare tips I should know about going in? I'm trying to be realistic about this and not expect miracles, but I'd love to hear from people who've actually done it. Thanks so much!
