Dee82 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have finally booked my BA consultation this month for my spring boobs! The question I have is about travelling after surgery. I need to confirm my holiday dates with my partner's and my work, before my consultation appointment date so I'm not going to have a chance to ask the surgeon this Q before my work's holiday leave deadline. I am not sure how close to surgery I can safely go overseas? Has anyone else gone overseas in the months after their BA and if so, how soon? I am so nervous as it is, and don't want to put in for surgery leave as well as holiday leave and find I've mistimed it all. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

imperfectly_lou Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I travelled from Sydney to NZ about 14 days post op. Only issue was with lifting my suitcase so I smiled nicely at a guy to do it for me. If you think about the girls who have their ops in Thailand, they travel home within 2 weeks Dee82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myturn Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 i would also think about the possibility of not feeling awesome in the first few weeks. Some girls are fine and others find they have really irritating nerve pain for up to 6 weeks, sometimes longer. You can't lift anything over 5 kg for 6 weeks either. And the first 2 weeks sleeping can be uncomfortable. Depends what the holiday is and for how long I guess. If the question is can I fly? well yes, you can fly almost straight away.

Dee82 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Thanks @imperfectly_lou that's a good point, I hadn't thought of that logic! Thankfully I have my partner with me for the suitcase lifting so I will be relying on him for the heavy lifting!! Since posting this I have had my surgeon's appointment and he said the same thing re not lifting anything heavy for 6 weeks, so I am good to go! So exciting. Appreciate the feedback ladies thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_sharpe Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yeah I had mine done in Thailand and flew back to Aus 10 days later. Just the lifting etc is all you need to worry about and take some nurofen, sitting for a long time in an uncomfortable seat and a heavy chest can be quite uncomfortable!
