Answer: Tummy Tuck Thanks for the question. Generally, most patients can fly within 2 to 4 weeks after Tummy Tuck surgery. However, car or airplane travel should be avoided to prevent the risk of blood clots in the legs. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Flying after Tummy Tuck I agree with my colleagues that 1 month is a minimum. I also recommend frequent ambulation and compression stalkings and aspirin before, during, and after your flights.

Answer: How soon do you have to fly after Tummy Tuck? There are a few really good studies out there Shamozal that should scare the pants off of anyone thinking of a flight that long within a few weeks of tummy tuck surgery. Your risk for developing a potentially fatal blood clot is high enough that I wouldn't like to see any of my patients fly for that length of time for at least a month, and only at that time if they are very mobile and don't have any other risks for blood clots. It might be advisable for you to use a low dose blood thinner for the flight, but that is not a replacement for waiting. Be very careful!
