Can I travel on aircraft 2/3 days after rhinoplasty with internal nose packing and cast still on?

Asked By:ukdoll2015 in London, GB

I would like to have rhinoplasty in iran which is roughly a 5 hour flight from the UK. My plan is to have surgery 48 hours after arriving in iran then spend 2/3 more days and then return to the UK. I then plan to have the internal packing and cast removed at a local UK hospital . I really don't want to be spending 10 + days in Iran...would it be okay to do this and fly with my nose packing and cast on?
