Flying........

Girls,

I am flying long haul a weeks today so will be nearly 12 weeks since my BA. My PS said it was fine to fly as I asked him before I even had the op as my holiday was booked last year. Should I wear those flight stockings and am I at more risk of DVT?

Thanks

At 10 weeks post-op I'd make an appointment to have your surgeon or clinic nurse check your boobs over babe. If they look good there's no reason why at 10 weeks post-op you shouldn't be able to go swimming or use a jacuzzi. As long as your wound has fully closed so that there is no risk of infection you should be just fine babe but do have them checked first lovely. Xx

How long post op would you recommend to wait before a spa day? So steam/sauna and massage? As I got given one for a gift that I want to use! X
