Hi there I live a 5 hours drive away from where I am getting my breasts done. How long after surgery should I wait before the big drive home? Thank you

Answer: Driving after Breast Augmentation Riding in a car after breast augmentation should cause you few problems. I would recommend that you stay in town for at least 24 hours after your procedure to watch for unusual swelling which could mean a hematoma. Of course, you should not drive or operate machinery while taking pain medications. It would be best if you have someone drive you home. Even as a passenger, be sure to move your legs around and get out and walk frequently. This will reduce the risk of blood clots in your legs.

Answer: Driving You should avoid driving after anesthesia for least 48 to 72 hours, and avoid driving while taking pain medication or muscle relaxers or any medication like Phenergan. If your implants are being placed under the muscle, you might need to avoid driving for up to a week. If your drive involves a lot of heavy traffic, it might be best to wait a week, or find someone else to drive.
