If I have BBL surgery on the 9th, can I fly on the 12th?

I recommend you to talked to your Plastic surgeon; each doctor have their own safety protocols. Usually is not recommend to travel certainly days before and after the procedure to check your recovery process and mainly to lower the risk of embolism. Hope this help

Your surgeon is the best person to give you this recommendation. I would encourage you to contact their office. Personally, my patients have to stay in town between 7-10 days after their BBL. The longer they stay, the better. You want to make sure your body is healing, and that any post-op care needed is done correctly. Your body is healing from surgery, and flying that early could potentially delay the healing process.

Thanks for your question. At my practice, I require my patients to stay 7 days post-op before flying home. I suggest you discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Hope this helps. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Hi! Each surgeon has their own post-op instructions and you should follow your surgeons recommendations. But in my experience, it is not safe to travel back home so soon after this procedure. I ask my patients to stay in town for at least 5 days post-op. That way I can examine your skin, healing, you're more recovered for the flight back home and the risk of developing blood clots (deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism) is lower. Hope this helps!

Hello Dear @be3zw0rld thank you for your question. It is always important to take into consideration the opinion of the specialist who is performing surgery. It depends a lot on the surgical technique and the technology used in this procedure. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
