How long after breast surgery can you fly?

Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 3-4 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

Thank you very much for your recent question.
In most cases, I recommend patients wait a two days before flying after their
breast augmentation procedure. This provides time to start healing, and ensures
less chance of bleeding or complications occurring during the flight. If you are
traveling from out-of-town for your breast augmentation, this first post-op
week should be spent close to your surgeon, for the initial follow-up
appointments and to watch for complications. However, every doctor will have
their own set of post-op protocols, so you should speak with your operating
surgeon about his/her recommendations.

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.
