Check with your surgeon. I have had patients fly home after their procedure and had no issues because of this. Just be aware that even though the chances of you having postoperative bruising and swelling are small, there is the chance that it could happen to you and you will be away from the person who could best address your concerns. Flying and/or pressure changes in and of itself won't harm the grafts. Bleeding, picking at them, accidently rubbing them, however,...
