Traveling after cosmetic surgery

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, 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.

Hi Chanel7 - Traveling after cosmetic surgery is okay as long as you clear it with your plastic surgeon.  There really is no set standard, but I recommend waiting on week to see if any complications arise and to allow your body to heal before flying.  Traveling great distances for surgery can be fine, but when complications arise (and many do occur during the first week) it may be difficult to find someone to take care of another plastic surgeons complications.  Therefore, I would recommend hanging around for a while and enjoy the warm weather!  Good luck!
