I want to have the fat harvested from my stomach and love handles and into my breast. I have yet to find anyone experienced enough in this in my area, so am considering traveling out of town to have it done. How long after the surgery can I fly? How long should I wait before exercise like walking?

Answer: How long after breast fat transfer can I travel? Hello, thank you for your inquiry I usually have my patients travel back home at 2-3 days after surgery depending on their recovery and if there is no complications. However each plastic surgeon has their own protocol. In regards of exercise you can wait after about 1 month post surgery and only light exercise. Best of luck!

Answer: How long after breast fat transfer can I travel? The length of time to remain in town after breast augmentation before a return flight will be variable. I am not sure there is time period that is universal. Most plastic surgeons have their own protocols for recovery; if there are no complications, my patients can usually fly home one week after their post-op consultation. Ask the plastic surgeon who performs your breast augmentation for his or her advice. Many of my patients return to work after 4 - 7 days if that work is non strenuous and sedentary. Vigorous exercise should be postponed for two weeks. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA
