Can I fly soon after getting my breast augmentation?

Every surgeon has different ways of guiding their patients through the postoperative course that they have developed over years of practice.  Make sure to see what our individual surgeon's recommendations are for travel after this procedure.

Hello and thanks for your questions.  I have never found flying to be an issue as far as stitches/sutures coming out as long as you are careful about not lifting baggage, etc.  Every surgeon is different with regard to their recommendations about travel/flying and timing after surgery.  For my patients I have no problem with them flying very soon after surgery 3-5 days as long as they stay hydrated, are up and mobile-walking around several times during the flight to help prevent blood clots, and avoid lifting anything heavy.  I hope these answers help.Best wishes during your recovery.Dr. Brown
