I am planning to have my revision rhinoplasty surgery in the U.S. but live in Europe so I will be flying for 11 hours ahead of the surgery.

I fly a lot for work so this should not be too much of a strain for me but I wonder if this could damage my results at all for any reason? I want as much recovery time as possible but I by no means want to jeopardise my results!
