Can I drive after I come home from BA surgery?

Thanks for your question. It is best not to drive the day of surgery or even 2 days after surgery. It is not safe to drive.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Hello, in my clinic and hospital we advise patients to avoid driving for a minimum of 24 hours after surgery, or longer if they are taking any narcotic pain medications.  You also should not drive if you are in pain or stiff, since you may not be able to react normally in an urgent situation.  Always check with your surgeon about driving and other activity restrictions.

Thank you for your question.  I think this is a pretty straightforward question:  no.  I would not drive for the first few days for a number of reasons….narcotics and sedatives from the surgery itself, narcotic pain pills after surgery and pain or discomfort that could slow down your reaction time.  Give it a good 2-4 days and make sure you are off narcotic pain pills before driving. 

It would not be safe to drive for at least 18 hours after anesthesia to let the effects wear off completely, and I do not let people drive for 48 hours even if they are off narcotics, because a sudden movement could conceivably result in a hematoma.  I am aware of a patient who was stopped for a DUI not from alcohol, but from prescription pain medications.

Hi... Thank you for the question.... I do not suggest driving for 15 days after Breast augmentation due to complications like seromas, hematomas and implants diaplace
