How Long Until I Can Drive Long Distances (1 Hour) After Breast Augmentation?

Always best to run these types of questions by your plastic surgeon who knows your situation best and is ultimately responsible for your care. Having said that, most patients are able to resume driving within one week.  Of course, you will want to be off medication and be able to respond to an emergency.
 
 Best wishes.

Thank you for the question! Certainly, discuss this with your plastic surgeon, as answers will vary among surgeons. I typically say that whenever you are not taking narcotic pain medications and when you feel like you are strong enough to turn the steering wheel suddenly if needed, then you may resume driving. If you meet those requirements, take short trips around your block with somebody and see how you do. Best wishes!

Driving means that yuo must be in control of the car.

If yuo think yuo could swerve the car to avoid an accident if needed, then yuo can drive safely.  If not then yuo would be unsafe to yuorself and others, so yuo should think of another way to get around.

I hope that gives yuo some idea, and yuo can then judge the best plan forward
