It is not a question of being able to, is mandatory for you to wear the compression garment (faja) during the flight. And during the day for the first 6 weeks after surgery, to limit edema (inflammation and swelling).

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You should be able to wear your garment. You are best to review things with your surgeon before you travel.

Hello 
  
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.  
  Yes, and it is necessary to prevent swelling an inflammation during the flight. Good luck :)

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

I usually recommend patients to start wearing the compression garment shortly after surgery (1-3 days after surgery). So, you should be able to wear it during the flight for proper compression. Consult your surgeon since each surgeon has a slightly different post op protocol. Good luck!

Hi dear, 
  
 Thanks for the questions. 
  
Yes you are going to be able to use it and it is very necessary to avoid the swelling and the retention of fluids by the pressure of the plane.
 I hope this advice helps you. Best wishes.-
