Will I recover from a breast augmentation in time for a wedding 18 days later?

October 11, 2022
Asked By:Compassionate428277 in Phoenix, Arizona

I am scheduled for a breast augmentation 18 days before my brother’s wedding. I will be a bridesmaid, and the wedding does require flying across the country. I will be getting 250cc under the muscle with a transaxillary incision. I don’t drink, so that is no concern with recovery. I am wondering if it is too soon to go without a bra for maybe 6 hours for my bridesmaid dress and if the flight should be any trouble.
