A little nervous on getting on a plane to go back home after getting my TT and breast augmentation. I will be staying at a recovery home for 7days post op then flying back home which is about 2hrs and 30 flight. Don't really know what to expect at all .

Answer: Flying after surgery The risks of flying after surgery are too high for the first 2 weeks. The most significant problem is the risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the legs that can move to the lungs and may be fatal. We suggest that the patients refrain from all flying for 2 weeks after surgery.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Flying Thanks for this question.You should be able to fly at 7 days after your surgery, as long as you have had a normal postoperative course and you are healthy. You will be sitting up or gently reclining so you will be relatively comfortable.I would be sure not to carry any bags, wear antiembolic stockings and keep those legs moving i.e. frequent walking. If when you land you have any leg swelling or calf and chest pain then I would seek immediate medical attention.
