How long after a breast lift until I can fly from New York to Florida?

Hi and thank you for the question.
I get asked this question a lot and my answer is 2 weeks. I see my patients 3 days after surgery and one week after that. I’d prefer to see my patients at least twice before they travel.
It’s important not to carry anything heavy or pull luggage while traveling.

I wish you the best and safe travels.

Dear Reserved460433,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
