How long before I can travel after a Breast Reduction and lift?

Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

There is always a risk having surgery with no plans to attend follow up. Do you and your surgeon have a plan should anything untoward happen?You need to be aware that your risk of DVT after surgery and a long haul flight are increased even at three weeks -  but more importantly my concern would be if anything untoward happened with the surgery. If you have travel insurance that allows you to postpone/change your flight at no additional cost to you and you take appropriate measures to limit dot on flight then I suppose it would be reasonable but not ideal. I presume your PS is aware?

I usually perform this procedure with absorbable sutures,so there are none to be removed. I prefer that patients stay in town for a week to ten days. Best of luck.
