How long after breast surgery can you fly?

Each surgeon has their own advice on post-surgery activities, therefore it’s best to ask your surgeon what they advise. Flying should not be an issue shortly after your surgery, as long as you don’t physically exert yourself by lifting luggage and such. You should probably also get up once in a while during your flight to leisurely walk around to reduce the risk of developing blood clots.

Hello,Thank you for your question. The answer will vary depending on the individual case and may be anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. If you do not have significant risk factors for blood clots and are healing well your surgeon will likely clear you to fly quickly. I recommend that you check with them.All the  best
