I will be getting a breast augmentation. How soon is it safe to fly?

Always best to check with your surgeon's protocol. I have had a patient fly from Philadelphia to Utah the day after augmentation and lift surgery with no problems. I don't recommend this and it is possible. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA

Hi & thanks for your question!
Check with you surgeon when you need to be seen for your post operative appointments. After you are cleared and given instructions you should be good to fly home. Best wishes!

Thank you for your question about post op from a breast augmentation.

For specific questions like this and about your recovery in general, it is best to speak directly with your doctor or doctor’s representative – such as his or her nurse, or the physician on call for the practice.

You will likely get many differing opinions from members of the RealSelf Community, but they have not personally seen or examined you. Nobody should know you or your unique set of circumstances better than your doctor.

Hope this helps!
