Asked By:Breastaugoct in Gold Coast, AU

I am undergoing a Breast Augmentation in October and I am flying down from the Gold Coast to Sydney. The procedure is done under twilight anaesthesia and is day surgery I am unable to stay in Sydney for as long as I want iam hoping to head home late that night either by my partner and I hiring a car and driving back to the Gold Coast or early the next day by flying. I am 25 and I have no previous medical history.Im concerned about the possible risks associated with flying so soon after surgery.
