I have a holiday booked for 12th April 2023 but hoping to have surgery start of Feb. Is this too soon after surgery? How long is advised before going abroad and can flying cause any problems with recovery? Thank you
Answer: You can travel pretty quickly after this surgery Hello! It would be good to wait about a week to make sure you don’t have any major issues that need to be addressed but it sounds like you should easily be able to go on your trip considering the time frame you mentioned. Good luck with your surgery and have fun on your trip!

Answer: Healing after breasst surgery. usually you are quite well healed after about six weeks and ready to enjoy your new results. Swimming and other activities are usually okay, but you absolutely have to get the go-ahead from your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Depends on Surgeon's instructions It all depends on your surgeon’s post-op instructions, since each surgeon has their own opinion. That may be enough time for you, however please note that your scars should be protected from sun exposure, particularly if you are going to the beach. This is because it can take a year or so for the scars to mature, and sun exposure before that time can permanently darken them.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear o123456, I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Answer: Always best to check with your surgeon's protocol I advise my patients no swimming or tanning for six weeks; no gym for three weeks. I recommend on average a week before flying just to recuperate from surgery. I did have a patient fly the day after breast augmentation and lift surgery from Philadelphia, Pa. to Utah with no problems. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
