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

Question

Can you fly for 1-2 hours the same day after having a labiaplasty on one inner lip with local anaesthetic please?

Mark N. Scheinberg, MD · Answer

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

Michelle Jones Singer, MD · Answer

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.

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

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.
