Is it safe to fly 3 weeks after Tumescent lipo on my flanks if I am thin and not much fat is being removed?

Hi! I am having tumescent lipo on my outer thigh (just a touch up) on 12/12/16. I did my outer thigh November 2015. I am getting my flanks done this time around. I have a vacation booked 1/1/17. Traveling for about two weeks to Hong Kong, Thailand & Singapore. My doctor thinks it's ok to fly. I am thin and they don't think I have a lot of fat being removed. The office also said I can return to work in 3 days. Thoughts???
