Should I be concerned about the flying making my blood clot worse? (Photo)

Mgy2018
I was just diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in my arm, I’m 12 days post lipo from the IV. I’m scheduled to fly for work on day 15 post lipo, the flight is 7 hours and the following day I have another 7 hour flight. Is this safe? I’m supposed to go back for another ultrasound next week to see if the clot has gotten worse but I’m concerned about the flying making it worse. Please advise.
