Thank you for your inquiry, usually patients are able to drive after 1-2 weeks after surgery however short distance drive only and carefully.
Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, we advise our patients they may resume driving following Breast Augmentation surgery as soon as they are completely off of narcotic pain medications and can respond quickly in an emergency situation. However, please be certain to follow your own board-certified plastic surgeon's office's post-operative activity recommendations.
Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon. Every surgeon has their own specific post op protocol for their patients and your surgeon is the best resource when questions arise. My patients typically return to driving after one week.
Thank you for your question.Once you have stopped taken your pain medication and have been released from your surgeon, you are able to drive. This is typically 2 weeks post-op. Your surgeon will instruct you on positioning of arms, etc. Best of luck to you!
Thank you for your question. My advice is to plan about a week of recovery before driving and that you must not be taking narcotic pain medication. Best of luck.
Thank You for your question. Typically in my practice I allow my patients to drive in 1 weeks time. Important conditions include being off all narcotics and feeling as though you have full control of your vehicle should you need to make a sudden stop or avoid an accident. Every patient is different in terms of soreness/pain post breast augmentation. It is important however to follow the specific directions of your surgeon.
Depending on how you are feeling during your recovery, you may be able to drive as soon as you are comfortable and no longer taking any prescription pain medications. For some of my breast augmentation patients, this is as soon as a day or two after surgery, while others wait to drive until closer to 4-5 days postop.Be sure to check with your own surgeon about his/her protocol regarding when it will be safe for you to drive again.Hope this helps, and best of luck,Dr. Lim
Thank your for your inquiry. Typically you should avoid driving and/or any car rides (even as a passenger) for as long as possible (4 - 6 weeks) It is better to be safe than sorry. The seatbelt in a car will not be comfortable for a while. Narcotic pain medications should NEVER be taken while driving as well.
Hello dear!Thanks for the question. Usually the time recommended it's 3 weeks after surgery to avoid any bleeding or trauma.Hope this could help.Good luck :)
