    I think your meant to wait 6 weeks ? I’m sure that’s what they told me ? I’m 4 weeks post op and I don’t think I would feel comfy yet in bikinis ect , you need propper support for the first 6 -8 weeks in a sports bra xxx

    you shouldn’t fly for 6 weeks and scars should be covered for up to a year to stop them from darkening in the sun x

    It’s prob best to talk to your pc or surgeon. I was told different I was told not to go in the water for 6 weeks fly from 4 weeks and keep covered in the sun or use sunblock. I will be 12 weeks post op for our family holiday so needed to make sure before I booked a date xx

    Hey you can fly short haul from 4 weeks (long haul at least 6 weeks) due to increased risk of DVT while flying. However you wouldn’t be able to go in the sea/ pool and should generally avoid exposing your chest to the sun before 6 weeks xx
