Flying Soon After Tummy Tuck & Lipo?

I don't think 8 days is nearly enough for recovery froma tummy tuck in another country.  Even if all goes well, you're cutting it too close.  Also, the risk of clots on the airplane from immobility for several hours is real and can be quite serious.  I would not recommend it.

Thank you for the question.

 

Tummy tuck and liposuction are known combination to increase the likelihood of blood clots. I would recommend to separate the 2 procedures. If however, you are determined to do it that way, be sure during the flight,  to drink lots of fluids , walk frequently and move your feet while sitting. That will reduce the risk, but there is no guarantee. Good luck.
