Answer: Flying post op The main risk (also one for passengers without surgery) will be the possibility of developing a clot in one of your deep leg veins, DVT, that could travel to your lungs (Pulmonary Embolism). Venous blood clot risk factors include sitting for prolonged times (for example prolonged plane flights or road trips) obesity, oral contraceptive use, sedentary lifestyle, familial clotting disorders. to minimize this from happening to you, I would keep hydrated, wear TED stockings(in the case of a tummy tuck), walk around often and frequently, keep your legs elevated if possible and mover your legs, ankles and feet often while sitting.

Answer: Depends Bottom line, speak with your surgeon as he or she knows your case most intimately. However, by the time you recover from your surgery and can actually return to work, any increased danger from flying will have passed. So, it's really going to depend on how your fast your body heals. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: 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.
