Hello Board Certified & Plastic Surgeons. Thank you for your artistic hands and commitment that transforms our bodies, which raises our self esteem %100. Im flying 1.5 hrs. on Delta Airlines to have my TT and lipo on fanks. My 2nd day after my TT is it safe to fly back to Atlanta, Ga. I will have my drains removed by a plastic surgeon here in Atlanta. Is it safe to fly the 2nd day after. 2nd. By looking at my photos, do you think a TT and lipo to the flanks will give me the waistline I long
Answer: Flying after a tummy tuck I tyically have my patients stay around for 5-7 days after a tummy tuck. However, if you fly back sooner make sure you do your foot pumps!

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thanks for the question. Generally, most patients can fly within 2 to 4 weeks after Tummy Tuck surgery. However, car or airplane travel should be avoided to prevent the risk of blood clots in the legs. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Probably would avoid flying for several days after in abdominoplasty. For a variety of reasons I would ask patient from out of town to remain in the premises for about a week after in abdominoplasty. It is important to keep active to reduce the risk of pulmonary embolism. There are short-term risks such as seroma that any surgeon would prefer to take care of himself.

Answer: Traveled two days after surgery is too early I definitely would not fly two days after a tentative procedure. You're at a increased risk for deep venous thrombosis. Additionally you will not feel well enough to make that trip even though it's only an hour and a half. I would reorganize your flight itinerary to fly out 5 to 6 days later. Good luck

Answer: Is flying safe after two days from having a tummy tuck? This question has to be discussed with your Doctor. It is difficult to say if you are a candidate without a frontal and a back picture. However, it does appear you would benefit from a a Tummy Tuck with flank lipo.I normally do not use drains.In our practice-- we have all of our out of town/ out of country patients stay at least 7-10 days for the follow up visits. It is not safe to travel 2 days after TT/lipo, I do not recommend it. If any of my patients did it- i would find them in breach of post op agreement!
