Can I drive within 4-8 hours of coming home from ba surgery?
Answer: Driving No, please do not drive the day of surgery. If you had general anesthesia, I would recommend avoiding driving up to 72 hours. If you are taking any pain medication, please do not drive. Also, please have someone of driving age at home with you for the first 24 hours.

Answer: Driving after BA surgery Hello, in my clinic and hospital we advise patients to avoid driving for a minimum of 24 hours after surgery, or longer if they are taking any narcotic pain medications. You also should not drive if you are in pain or stiff, since you may not be able to react normally in an urgent situation. Always check with your surgeon about driving and other activity restrictions.

Answer: Driving after breast augmentation? Thank you for your question. I think this is a pretty straightforward question: no. I would not drive for the first few days for a number of reasons….narcotics and sedatives from the surgery itself, narcotic pain pills after surgery and pain or discomfort that could slow down your reaction time. Give it a good 2-4 days and make sure you are off narcotic pain pills before driving.

Answer: When can I drive after breast augmentation It would not be safe to drive for at least 18 hours after anesthesia to let the effects wear off completely, and I do not let people drive for 48 hours even if they are off narcotics, because a sudden movement could conceivably result in a hematoma. I am aware of a patient who was stopped for a DUI not from alcohol, but from prescription pain medications.
