I will be travelling by car to and from the hospital following my tummy tuck. The journey is 3 maybe 4 hours. Is this reasonable after a tummy tuck? Will I be okay to travel that long after my tummy tuck?

Answer: Travel by car after tummy tuck Thanks for your inquiry, if you were my patient I would not want you to do that. Please make sure your surgeon is aware of your plan, good luck.

Answer: Is it safe to travel by car for 3/4 hours after tummy tuck? Most experienced plastic surgeons would tell you that traveling 3-4 hours in a car immediately following a tummy tuck is not a good idea because of the increased risk of developing DVT, clots in the legs, which can be life threatening.Robert Singer.
