Breast Aug 3 Weeks Ago and Swollen After Flying?

Hello! Thank you for your question! Altitude and pressure have no effect on breast implants, whether saline or silicone. It is safe to travel by air in pressurized cabins or even scuba dive without concern. No further precautions should be taken during these activities. Certainly, discuss any concerns with your surgeon prior. asymmetric swelling is a concern and unlikely from the air travel. This is something to be evaluated for as other factors may be causing this issue. Best wishes!

 There  should be no additional swelling of your breasts related to flying in a pressurized airplane.  It is likely that some of the swelling of experienced is related to increased activity related to your traveling.

Unfortunately, any advice you receive online regarding postoperative swelling can only be partially reassuring; direct physical examination will be necessary for an accurate assessment/recommendation.

Best wishes.

Flying may be unrelated to your asymmetruc swelling. If one breast is significantly different from the other, then I would suggest seeing your surgeon to be evaluated.
