Flying

Hiya ladies, after having a ba does anyone know when you can fly? Xxx

Hi hun think it depends on where you are going short haul is OK after 6 weeks I think I have seen on here but don’t quote me on that

I’m going to Greece or Spain in the summer and my op is in 6days time.. Can’t wait to actually be able to sunbathe in a bikini without feeling embarrassed!x

Thank you ladies?. I know Ellie I can’t wait I’m super excited can’t wait to have nice boobs xxxx

You can fly 10 days after 🙂 make sure your incisions are always covered though, if your sunbathing, otherwise they will end up healing a different colour to your natural skin tone xx

Thank you amber, I was ment to be going away 2 weeks later probably pointless really as I will have to wear my sports bra the whole time ? xxx

hiya im cabin crew and having my BA on 3rd feb, my surgeon said i can be flying again after 2 weeks but just wants to see me before to give the all ok! x

Hiya shannen, thank you for the reply?, that’s really helped at least now I can still go. Aww how exciting good luck with everything Hun yours is so close. Mine feels ages away but hopefully will soon come round xxx

Hi Babe, I am currently 6 weeks post op…but I was originally scheduled for my BA back in September 2015 and was going away early October to New York (classed as long haul) giving myself only 3 weeks before flying. I asked my PC about this at the time and was advised 4 weeks for short haul (less than 6 hours) and 6 weeks for long haul (6hours +) and if I were to go against this I would have to sign a disclaimer that I went against surgery advice. I was desperate to have it asap at the time due to the late space discount but decided against it in the end because of a couple of things – 1) be aware that you will not be able to lift your arms up above a certain height and you wont be able to lift heavy bags 2)you will probably have dressings on your stitches for upto 6 weeks dependant on how you heal and the heat might make your skin sweat giving room for infection and 3) what would you do incase of an emergency whilst you are abroad…I ended up postponing my surgery until Christmas because I went away again in November and at first all was well until I got an infection in one of my incision 2 weeks postop but was able to get to the nurse straight away for antibiotics and then having to go and see her every week for 3 further weeks. So sorry for this long long post but I just think it’s better to be safe than sorry, we pay all that money and put our bodies through such a huge change you dont want to jeopardise your end results. Hope this helps xxx

If it is only a couple hour flight your ment to wait 4 weeks if it’s a long hour flight then it’s 6 I went on holiday 3 1/2 weeks after my ba and I was fine it’s Deffo not 10 days after! Xx

Thank you jessiikaa for you reply I very much appreciate your all feedback I think I will probably leave the holiday it isn’t yet paid for it was a last min decision really. But I defo agree it won’t really be much of a holiday I want be able to relax properly I’ll be so worried especially being in a different country. Thank you Abby rose for your reply Hun xxxx

I’m flying 10 days after. It’s only a half hour flight to Dublin but they’ve said I’ll be fine! Xx
