I had a brow and forehead lift. Can I fly in a week? I am 3 weeks post surgery now.

Question

The visible swelling has gone but I still have considerable pain my feels bruised at touch all over.

Paul Lanfranchi, DO, FAOCOO · Answer

It sounds like your recovery was on schedule, and without setbacks, so therefore it would be perfectly safe to travel by plane at 3 weeks post-operative (regardless of the distance). Of course check in with your surgeon in case he/she wants to double check everything one last time before you depart.

Mark Beaty, MD · Answer

Typically my patients can fly after a browlift at around the two week mark.  I suggest checking with your surgeon to discuss your specific case.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I would think it would fine to fly three weeks after a brow/forehead lift, but I would recommend checking with your particular surgeon since he or she has the most information about you and your procedure.

Should be a non issue! But best to receive OK from your chosen operative surgeon! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
