How long after a breast augmentation can I fly?

Asked By:samii699

I’m having a breast augmentation under local anesthesia in the US, the plane ride is about 7 hours and my surgeon said I’ll be okay to fly home 2 days after the procedure so that’s what I’m doing. That just seems really soon! Is there anything I can do to make the plane ride safer? (Compression socks, etc) thank you.
