I am going to have a BL soon and I would like to travel to visit family a few days after (5 or 6 days). The flight is 2 hours. Are there any complications I should be aware of and is it safe? I am getting a lift only (shooting for a lollipop lift, but may have to get an anchor lift), no implants.

Answer: Travel after a Breast Lift
Hi there-
I think that if your surgeon is comfortable with it, that flying 6 days after your breast lift would probably be okay-
But if you were my patient and you asked me what my preference would be in order to maximize your safety and chances of being happy with your lovely outcome and uncomplicated recovery, I would say wait 2 weeks after your surgery.

Answer: Flying after Breast Lift?
Generally speaking, flying 6 days after breast lift surgery should be just fine assuming you do well and there are no complications. Always best to check with your plastic surgeon who knows your situation best. Suggestions may include: avoid heavy lifting, stay well hydrated, ambulate, and use aspirin as possible.
Best wishes.
