Hi Katie,
As far as I know my PC told me you can’t fly for six weeks after surgery but not due to the ‘implant exploding’ on the airoplane as the old myth used to say, but purely because of the risk of infection to your incisions as they may not be 100% healed.
Plus with the sun and scars it’s always best to make sure they are fully healed as it can change the colour of the final scar, best to use a high factor like 50 on them to keep them protected just like with tattoos.
As youve probably seen on here everyone heals very differently at different levels of pain for different amounts of time. Some are very lucky with hardly any pain, and some last a few weeks more.
I’d say give yourself at the very least 6weeks after surgery before planning anything as you’ll want to feel your best before flying.
Hope that helps Hun. Xx.
