I'm looking to get my breast augmentation done in LA and I live in Seattle (about a 3 hour flight.) how soon after surgery can I fly back home?
Answer: Flying After Breast Augmentation Thanks for your question. I normally have my out-of-town patients stay in town for 5 to 7 days depending on the breast procedure. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear Epcathletics, every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Flying This question is best answered by your surgeon as opinions may vary. Keep in mind that you may have lifting restrictions in place after surgery so you will need someone along to help with luggage, etc. Be sure to move around a bit on the plane when it is safe to do so to prevent blood clot formation.
