Is it okay for one to have surgery 3 or 4 hours after flying on an airplane? Kind of surgery: TT,BBL and Lipo.

Thank you for your question.  It should probably be fine, however, make sure you are properly hydrated as flying can dehydrate you and that you are moving around frequently- you don't want to have been seated for 4 straight hours and then have surgery for another 4 hours and be at a significant risk for blood clots because of all that immobilization.  All the best,

Flying hrs before surgery should not affect you. You actually need to consider the time frame before flying back, which I recommend you to consult with your preferred surgeon. Best luck!

Thanks for the question. In my practice i usually recommend to stay at the country where the surgery is going to be perform for at least 2 weeks after surgery to avoid unnecessary risks. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol
