If I have surgery to have my forehead reduced out of state, is it ok to fly home the next day or two days after and have my stitches removed by a local plastic surgeon?

Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift and Hairline Lowering and flying home.Since inventing this procedure and having done more than 500 this should not be a problem. Make sure your surgeon can show you results as below.

Answer: Returning home after forehead reduction AZ Sun, I see most patients the next day and at one week after surgery. We do want patients in town for at least 24 hours, but after their next day appointment we are OK with them returning home. How you feel the day after surgery varies quite a bit. Some patients report significant pain and are using strong pain medicine, others are just using tylenol and advil. Nausea isn't common, but it can happen too. It's easier for patients who are driven here from a few hours away - their plans can be a little more flexible. If you are flying back home I recommend booking a couple days after surgery to make sure your trip home is as comfortable as possible. At the one week follow up I like to either see patients myself or to have someone I know is very familiar with this type of procedure. They also have to be willing to see a patient someone else has operated on, and with concerns about liability that is not always the case. -Dr. Rolfes
