Can I be alone post butt implants surgery?

Question

I am flying to another state for my surgery and was wondering if I can go alone. Thank you!

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

Although it is highly recommended to have a responsible adult with and available to you for the first 7 - 10 days, it is absolutely necessary to have this type person for the first night after surgery while you recover from general anesthesia. If a  friend or family member is not available then recovery centers and/or private duty nurseare available for this initial time period. Be sure to discuss all this with your operating surgeon as his/her opinion matters most.

Thanks for your question. No, it is recommended that you have some assistance for the first couple of days after surgery. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

you will need an escort to take you home after surgery.  Its recommended to have someone with you for the first 48 hours. Please wait at least one week before traveling. Especially alone.

Nicholas A. Flugstad, MD · Answer

Traveling for surgery can add to stresses of recovery. You need to plan every detail carefully. If you are staying locally for several days, it would be nice to be with someone you trust. If you can't there are agencies that provide 24 hour care, because you can't be alone for the night after surgery and sometimes longer. Also, sitting on an airplane will be fairly uncomfortable in the first week, so stay wherever you are going for as long as your surgeon recommends. Travelling for this procedure takes careful planning with your treating doctor.
