Mum of three Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I am looking at getting my breasts done at TCI and will be travelling from interstate. The surgeon operates on a Friday and the only direct flight home is lunchtime Sunday. Am I kidding myself thinking that I will be able to fly home that soon? Will the pain be unbearable? Has anyone else flown home 48 hours after surgery? Thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeycakes Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I think you are. Im also interstate- travelling from Brisbane to Sydney for my op. My op is on a Tuesday and my Dr has said I can fly home on Saturday at the earliest. Im going to book flights for the following tues to be safe. Also you cant lift anything over 5kg- so are you flying home by yourself or do you have someone to help you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey bunny Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 You'll be fine. I travelled interstate for my BA and flew back home 48hrs post op. I had no issues travelling home so soon. I really could have flown out the next day and it wouldn't have made a difference for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been women on here who haven't been able to get out of bed or pull their pants up for the first week. It really does depend on how your body reacts to the surgery. missljayeg and Jennalee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suki Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Personally, I'd want to wait a week before flying, but I understand you're time poor. This is a question you should ask your surgeon. No one here has medical insight into why you should or shouldn't. This link has some useful info though https://breastblaug.com/2014/03/01/how-soon-can-i-travel-after-breast-augmentation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that but I believe it does depend on your pain tolerance. @Mum of three You have birthed 3 babies this is a walk in the park in comparison ?

Bahaha....Thanks honey bunny! My mum told me the same thing! I have a pretty high pain tolerance after 3 births! On 6 July 2016 at 0:44 PM, Honey bunny said: You'll be fine.

My flights are booked exactly 48 hours after surgery! So excited yet soooo nervous! ? Honey bunny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll go into theatre, they'll give you the anaesthesia (if you are getting GA) you'll be knocked out immediately and then you'll suddenly wake up with awesome boobies and realise there was no real reason to be so nervous.
