Can I fly after removing stitches from Double Eyelid Surgery?

March 5, 2022
Asked By:kallainos198964 in Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz

I will get my Double Eyelid Surgery soon. After 8 days my stitches will get removed. How risky would it be to fly right after that? My flight would take 1 hour and 15 minutes. I have the option to take the trains. It would take about 13 hours and I often have to change trains.

The mild benefit does not outweigh the risks. I hope this helps...
