How long do you have to wait after breast augumentation before you can fly home if your having surgery overseas? :)
Answer: Surgery The general rule is to avoid flying for 30 days after any general anesthesia to decrease the risk of blood clots. It is best to have surgery in your area so you can have follow up care.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hi from Istanbul! In my practice, I get hundreds of patients a year from overseas, many of them for rhinoplasty and breast procedures. For patients undergoing breast augmentation alone, I typically recommend waiting at least 5 days before flying. If the procedure includes a lift, it’s best to wait 7 days before traveling. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Flying After a breast augmentation you should be able to fly after a couple of weeks as long as your recovery is going normally. Remember that you will have lifting restrictions in place so you will need help with luggage. When on the plane be sure to get up and move around when safe to do so. At your seat rotate your feet and ankles frequently. You can speak to your surgeon about other options such as compression stockings or medication.
