Can you fly the same day after labiaplasty on one lip?

Thank you for your question Although you can fly, Most surgeons prefer you stay nearby for twenty four hours just in case a problem arises

Technically you can. But should you...No. You have the greatest chances of bleeding on the day of surgery. If you are flying how will you get the important care that you require? The pressure in the airplane will effect the immediate recovery process. The next day is okay to travel but not the day of the surgery. No matter what procedure is done.

Flying away from your surgeon on the same day as your surgery is not a good idea. Why? Because most issues that require urgent attention from your surgeon will arise on the same day as your surgery . You won't be able to get that attention in time if you can't get back there immediately on commercial airlines and, as you are well aware, flight delays and cancellations are the rule these days. Additionally, even if you have your own private plane and pilot, cabin decompression might even provoke or worsen some issues. I would advise that you travel on the day after your procedure regardless of whether your labiaplasty is one sided or not.

Yes, if the operation is performed in the morning, a 1-2 hour flight in the evening will not cause any problems.

Hello Laura,
Many patients travel long distances to have their Labiaplasty by an experienced surgeon. Yes, you my board a flight to return home, but you should ask your surgeon their recommendations for post operative follow up and care.

I do not perform labiaplasty surgery with local anesthesia. local anesthesia is in the form of liquid and cannot be applied homogeneously all over the operation area. We apply more local anesthesia to some places, even if we don't want to. The areas where local anesthesia is applied excessively appear larger and more incisions are made from these areas to be even. After local anesthesia is absorbed by the body, surgical asymmetries may occur.
You can ask this. After the drawing is made, local anesthesia is done, then an incision is made, why should there be asymmetry?
We start our surgery by drawing. then we start the incision process from the bottom and go up. cut, sew, rehearse, cut, sew, rehearse. While rehearsing, it is necessary to make incisions again from the necessary places. Since local anesthesia cannot be homogenized everywhere, it prevents us from rehearsing properly and making additional incisions from necessary places.
The best anesthesia method in labiaplasty surgery is general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia.
You can be discharged from the hospital 12-16 hours after the operation and board the plane.

I would discourage you from flying the same day as surgery, even with only one side done. The pressure changes add to pain in my patients and the possibility of bleeding is likely a bit higher.

Hi, yes under local anesthesia you may fly to your country at the same day . After the operation we do your medication , explain what you should do and after your check you may go to your home country. But it s better to apply cold compress during your travel

Yes if under local anesthesia. Supplemental analgesia will be of help too (Pronox). Avoid carrying luggage and follow light activity precautions.
