Im scheduled to have my tummy tuck surfer on July 20 in Miami with Doctor Salama. Im back here in the Bay Are on July 30. So is it safe o travel during that time? Pleas reply getting nervous.
Answer: Is it safe to travel 10 days after Tummy Tuck? Thank you for your question. I could not agree more with the answer by Dr. DeMars. Why in the world are you flying across the country to have surgery in Miami when they are literally hundreds of qualified plastic surgeons right in your back yard?!?! There is no benefit to worrying about traveling, post-op care, all these other factors......just do surgery with a local board certified plastic surgeon....Hope this helps!

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thanks for the question. Generally, most patients can fly within 2 to 4 weeks after Tummy Tuck surgery. However, car or airplane travel should be avoided to prevent the risk of blood clots in the legs. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Is it safe to travel 10 days after Tummy Tuck? We ask that our out-of-town patients refrain from traveling for a minimum of 10 days following their procedure. If you plan to travel, it is important to stand up and walk at least every hour. In most circumstances, my patients feel well enough to travel 2 weeks after their tummy tuck surgery. By 6 weeks, given normal healing, patients are cleared to ease back into their normal activities. It is important to contact your Plastic Surgeon before traveling shortly after a cosmetic procedure and to follow their detailed advice following your surgery, as medical opinions may vary.

Answer: Abdominalplasty: travelling 10days post-op hello ItsBelle Abdominoplasty involves a recovery period of 10 to 14 days longer than most plastic surgical procedures. Recovery will vary depending on the type of tummy tuck performed and from patient to patient. Light activity should be comfortable in 10-20 days. You should visit or contact your PS about this concern. #travel #safety

Answer: Is it safe to travel 10 days after tummy tuck? Hello! Thank you for your question. Our practice has patients travel from afar. Opinions on travel following a surgical procedure will differ amongst surgeons, and is best to discuss this with your surgeon. In our practice, we ask that you plan to stay for several days to weeks to observe and evaluate the surgical areas as well as your readiness for travel. Depending on which procedure you have, up to a few weeks or so may be necessary. I would certainly discuss this with your surgeon in addition to plans for postop care and evaluation. Ensuring adequate oral intake and mobility is a must and proper postoperative care of the surgical sites and incisions is prudent. An evaluation postoperatively as well as prior to departure is usually done to make sure that all is well for your travel back. Potential for compression stockings and/or anticoagulation may be advised by your surgeon. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
