Waiting Time to Pilot Plane After Liposuction?

January 16, 2010
Asked By:toppa in Out of state

I'm hoping to have lower eyes and lower face and body liposuction. I'm assuming that this will require general anesthesia because of so many surgeries. I am 37 years, female. Through this site I'm understanding two weeks before exercise, which flying sometimes seems to be, but what about mentally? How long should I wait after that before flying a small plane, not high, only about 2000 ft? Thank you
