I'm having a brachioplasty tomorrow (without liposuction), and just found out that I need to attend an overseas conference 6 days post-op. I will be travelling with others, and have no required activity while there other than to sit and listen. Is this a bad idea?

Answer: Travel after surgery Thanks for your question. I think six days is too early to consider traveling out of the country. While the recovery from an arm-lift can vary considerably depending on the amount of tissue removed and the technique used, I would still recommend waiting at least 3 or 4 weeks to travel out of the country. At 6 days there is generally still quite a bit of swelling. Most importantly, I would suggest discussing this with your surgeon who is in the best position to give you advice as to when you will be safe to travel. Good luck.

Answer: Traveling after arm lift? Thanks for your question. Traveling after only 6 days seems too early to me. Arm lift surgery can have a speedy recovery, depending on the steps of the procedure and which technique is done, so I would check with your PS to be sure. Best, Dr. Aldo
