Is it okay to travel after Breast augmentation?

Question

Hi, the doctor that I found for my breast surgery only do his surgeries in london, I am really confident about his work and I feel extremely comfortable with this surgeon that I really do not want to find another one. But I live in Birmingham, I will be staying overnight at the hospital and then leave the next day afternoon. Would it be okay for me to travel back to Birmingham day 2 post op? I will take taxi to the station and the train will be 1 and a half hour :\

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.

You should be ok to travel by taxi and train after your surgery. Make sure your surgeon knows what you are planning as he may have a different opinion.

Hello, I would recommend speaking to your PS about your travel plans.  They would be aware of your risk factors for a complication, and any techniques they have to reduce your risks.

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Opinions on travel following a surgical procedure will differ amongst surgeons and is best to discuss this with your surgeon. I typically recommend staying in the area for 7 days after a breast augmentation, just to make sure that all is well, and that there are no signs of early complications before you head home. All the best.

There is no way to know if there will be any complications with your surgery, but you might want to consider rescheduling with another surgeon in your area. It is better to be safe than sorry. All the best,Dr. JSB
