I'm planning to have a Rhinoplasty augmentation overseas. However, I've read on the newspaper before that someone's Breast augmentation collapsed in the airplane due to the high pressure or some sort. I'm wondering whether there is a possible chance of that happening with Rhinoplasty augmentation.
Answer: Flying following rhinoplasty I like to have my patients around for at least a week prior to flying home or to convalesce. The risks of air travel following rhinoplasty are mostly related to changes of pressure and equalization. You will likely have some congestion and nasal edema which can effect your sinuses and eustachian tubes, but simple precautions like an over the counter nasal decongestant spray should be able to prevent this problem.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thanks for the question. You should be able to flying by 1-2 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.

Answer: Air Travel after Rhinoplasty Travel of any type following rhinoplasty can potentially complicate the post-operative course. In most cases, patients have recovered sufficiently to travel in about seven to ten days following surgery.

Answer: Flying after rhinoplasty Typically, the only issues after flying involve pressure changes which can result in a nose bleed. The other potential issue is if you have swelling inside your nose for example if you had septal surgery at same time, you may have difficulties clearing your ears with the pressure changes on the plane. I typically recommend that my patients not fly for at least a week after surgery and up to two weeks in some cases. This varies from physician to physician.
