Hi - I’m planning to have a tummy tuck, breast reduction, and liposuction to my arms and back. I live 4 hours away and would like to go home two days after my procedure (driving with my husband) where we can stop every hour to walk. I live next to a hospital and my husband is a nurse and we would be taking all precautions not to get a blood clot, is this feasible?

Answer: Traveling post surgery Thank you for your question. While your precautionary measures are certainly well-thought-out, it's essential to discuss your post-operative travel plans with your surgeon. They have a deep understanding of the procedures you're undergoing and their specific recovery timelines. They can give you personalized advice about when it would be safe to undertake such a journey. Ensuring your safety and optimal recovery should be the top priority, and your surgeon is best equipped to provide guidance in this respect.

Answer: Traveling after surgery Hello, It is safe to travel 2 days after your procedure. By stopping every hour and walking around to prevent blood clots will help along with wearing compression socks. Keep your fluid intake up as well.
