    Hi Jessica. I had vaser and was still swollen and patchy at 4-6 weeks. Still a little swollen now and I’m at 8 weeks. X

    I had a BA and went on holiday to Iceland 9 days PO and submerged my incisions at 12 days PO (blue lagoon volcanic hotsprings) although I was instructed not to. My incisions are fine at the moment, not had a problem or felt pain yet as I washed my incisions with pure water as soon as I could, I wore my macom bra under a swimming costume and had steri strips covering the scars. Boobs were fine on the plane too although wear something very supportive incase and would highly recommend wearing compression socks for the flight to prevent DVT as it’s the biggest risk off flying (like the ones from your op – keep them after to save you spending £12 in boots) xxxxx

    I will be 2 weeks post-op for Vaser tomorrow. Whilst there isn’t anything stopping you from going on holiday, I know personally I would be dreading going away this weekend if I was.I still have quite a bit of bruising and swelling, plus still feel a little ‘vulnerable’ around Vaser areas.

    I think it will depend on two things
    1) What your recovery garments are like
    2) Where you are going and what you are planning on doing.

    What have you been advised to wear after? Do you just have the compression garments, or do you have the dreaded 4D vest as well? I have the 4D vest for 4 weeks, so am trying to avoid as much contact with the outside world as possible! If you just have the compression garments then I think you would probably be OK, but be aware that they will come down to nearly your knees, and (I’m not totally sure, because I didn’t have arms) it may be down to your elbows too. The compression garment is perfectly comfortable as its just like stronger Spanx, but they certainly aren’t miniskirt and vest top / bikini compatible!

    Hopefully you’ll get away with it then! I think it probably just if you have the stomach done. I had stomach, flanks and lower back.

    I have just under two weeks left of it, and I can’t wait. Although I’m going to be a little naughty on Saturday and have a few hours off the vest and just wear the compression garment.
