I am a Business Consultant and our clients are based all around the world. After my breast augmentation, how long until it is safe for me to take short haul flights 1-3 hours? Then how long until I can take long haul - 6 hours plus? Please not this would not be a one off journey, I would be hopping on and off the plane each week for months if assigned to the project.

Answer: Flying after breast implant surgery It is safe to fly approximately one week after surgery if you have not had any complications. I advise my patients not to lift anything over 10 pounds for the first 6 weeks after surgery as well as avoiding lifting your arms over your head. You should also avoid vigorous exercises or weightlifting for 6 weeks too. The more that you move your arms, the longer it will take for the swelling to go down after surgery. I hope that this is helpful to you.
