I’m having a TT, breast lift and arm lift. How long before I can drive?

Driving is not a physical activity, I routinely tell my patients to drive when they feel like they are safe behind the wheel and they are not on medications that would alter their mental state.  This is obviously different for every patient and for every procedure. I think it also depends on where you live.  Yesterday a patient asked me about driving, she lives in a little West Texas town with no stoplight, thats a little different than the metroplex.  But yes, discuss with your surgeon.  Again, driving won't hurt anything but getting in an accident could.  It really is basic common sense, I don't understand how a surgeon can have an across the board rule on driving for every patient.  Good luck, Jane. 

Thanks for your inquiry, make sure you have clearance from your doctor before driving, but in general with procedures you are having you should be able to drive between 10-14 days days.  Good Luck with surgery.
