I'm thinking of flying after butt implant surgery after a week. If I need to fly (one hour flight) with drains how does this affect walking through the TSA line? Will I be allowed to pass TSA with the drains?

Answer: Prolonged sitting may be an issue Hello and thank you for your excellent question. The drains should not be an issue, although you may need to explain the surgery to an agent. The bigger issue will be the prolonged sitting after your surgery, which could be uncomfortable, move your implants, and could increase your risk for a blood clot. Make sure to discuss your plans with your surgeon. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
