How does actively flying in a airplane effect the healing process?

Thank you for the question.  Your plastic surgeon, knowing exactly what operation was done and how you are progressing, will be your best resource when it comes to returning to specific activities. Generally speaking, you will find that any in-flight pressure changes will not have any adverse effects on the healing process. I would suggest staying very well hydrated and walking frequently. Best wishes.

I appreciate your question.

I would not recommend flying for 4 weeks after Mommy Makeover for risk of DVT.  Discuss with your surgeon when he/she recommends you can return to work since your surgeon is most familiar with your medical history.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!
