Plan to stay a minimum of4-5 days

Francisco Canales, MD answers: Flying after Breast implants revision

How long until I can take a 2 1/2 hour flight after breast augmentation revision? I am traveling to Florida to have my breasts re-done and wondering when it is safe for me to take the 2 1/2 hour flight back home.

I would suggest staying a minimum of 4-5 days and longer if possible.  It is, after all a revision, and you may need drains or extra work done during the surgery.  You do not want to stir up any bleeding by being too active in the immediate postop period.  You certainly don't want to carry bags, suitcases, etc.

Your surgeon will be able to give you the best answer. When patients come from out of town, I suggest they stay for 7 days if at all possible.
