Hey everyone! So I'm planning to get a minor procedure done while I'm in Korea, but I'm flying back to the US a few days after. I'm honestly a bit nervous about managing swelling on the plane and during travel. Has anyone done this before?

I'm wondering what kind of aftercare products are actually worth bringing with me? Like, should I get compression masks or anything specific before I leave Korea? And are there certain things that help with swelling that you can carry on a flight? I'm not even sure what's allowed in carry-on luggage to be honest lol.

Also, any general tips for keeping swelling down while traveling? I've heard ice is good but that seems impossible on a plane. Would love to hear from anyone who's been through this! Did you find anything helped more than others? Just want to be prepared and realistic about what to expect.
