Traveling Before a Major Surgery?

I think you are safe to travel before mommy makeover without significant concern.  If for whatever reason, you do come down with a cold, sinus infection, etc.. then the critical thing is to let your surgeon and anesthesiologist know so that they can decide if you are safe to proceed with surgery or whether you should delay it.

 

With regards to your question about what you should be doing pre-op to get ready, I would take a multivitamin every day, make sure you are eating a healthy diet including plenty of protein and that you stop all aspirin, red wine or other blood thinning products 10 days before your surgery.

      Traveling 1 week prior to surgery should not negatively impact your results, particularly since you are not traveling abroad.  Good luck.

Thank you for your question.

Traveling (in and of itself) prior to surgery is not a problem.  Yes, if you get sick then you may need to reschedule your surgery -- but you may get sick staying home as well.

Enjoy your time with your family.  Do the things you normally do to prevent sickness (eat healthy, get lots of rest, wash hands,etc).

Best wishes on your upcoming surgery!
