I'll be having lipo 360 and bbl and flying home 9 days after surgery. My flight is about 8-9hours. Any recommendations as to how I can sit/positions myself on the flight back?
Answer: BBL Hello and thanks for your question. You can buy a "donut pillow" to sit on during the flight to take some of the pressure off of your buttocks. Also, make sure you are walking around every 30 minutes or so in order to increase blood flow to your legs and decrease chance of blood clots, and to take the pressure off of your buttocks. I always tell my patients to wait at least a month before flying post-procedure. Please make sure you are booked with a board-certified physician. Best of luck to you!
