Air travel post lipo and bbl?

Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your question, When Traveling after the Brazilian Butt Lift its important to always wear your compression garment, this is going to keep the swelling under control, at 5 weeks postop its good for you to walk but you do need to pace yourself, pushing your body beyond its limits at this time will increase swelling and body soreness. Al tough you can sit by week 5 take your donut pillow with you on the plane, for you to be more comfortable and avoid mild pain.

Make sure you wear your compression garment and get up during the travel as much as possible. Motrin for a few days will also help with the swelling.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to wait at least 10 days before flying back to home, and you should not sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Unfortunately you can not do much about swelling on the plane. I tell patients to stay well hydrated and move around a lot on the plane.

If you are traveling around 5 weeks after your procedure, it should be safe to do so. I'd recommend that you get up frequently out of your seat when you're able, and walk to help circulate the fluid in your legs. Compression hose may be helpful, and avoid high sodium foods and drinks. Good luck!

Long flights could cause lower extremity swelling . Exercising your feet and standing up for a little walk in the plane every 2 hours should help . By 5 weeks pot surgery you shouldn't have more than your regular swelling issues. Best wishes
