How soon can I go on a road trip after breast augmentation?

Thank you for your question.

Here are some recommendations to consider when travelling by
road:Due to pain medications, soreness,
and limited movement, you will be unable to drive right away. Perhaps you might
want to wait for at least a week as steering requires regular use of the chest muscles.
However, there should be no problem if someone else is doing the driving for
you.It is recommended that you
arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and accompany you for 24
hours right after surgery – most patients ask a friend to help. It is recommended that you
stay within the vicinity of your surgeon for a few days after your surgery for
follow-ups and to make sure you do not get any severe complications.It is recommended that you
do not lift or pull heavy luggages; you cannot lift more than 10 pounds for at
least 2-3 weeks. To minimize risks of deep
vein thrombosis, you may want to have your car stopped every 2-3 hours to walk
for few minutes to improve blood circulation.

As always, please
discuss instructions for recovery and travelling with your board-certified plastic
surgeon. Their advice should take precedence as they will be better informed
about your case.

Hope this helps.

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.

I would suggest asking your surgeon, who has seen you and knows how well you are healing, when you can travel.
