If I'm travelling to another country to get a nose job, how long should I stay? When is it OK to get on the plane back home?

Dear Patient,

The standard answer is two weeks. All
will reply that at the office. But I can let my patient fly after 5 days. But
considering every case and evaluating what type of surgery I did. The main
problem is that it can happen some bleeding while on a flight (if it is a small
amount the patient can solve it, but if it is an excess bleeding he/she may
need doctors help. Normally after 5 days it is hard to have excess bleeding if
surgery and healing is going well. I would recommend talking to your doctor and
seeing when you can (depends on the type of surgery he did).Best RegardsDr. Nabil Fakih

In our practice, we ask patients to spend 7-10 days in town after their surgery, before flying back home. Patients are able to keep in touch with by phone and e-mail, when needed.

Thanksyou must calculate for at least two weeks!( time for removal of stitches and the cast and hopefully you have no complications)BWJ TaheryOtolaryngologist/Facial Plastic SurgeonChesterUK
