    Hi Girlies!

    I want to get a breast enlargement early June as I get a week off work for Whitsun to recover.

    But my parents want to book a holiday to Cyprus the week after!

    Could I still go if I will only be a week post-op!? :(

    HELP!!

    Not had my ba yet but sure that’s a no, think you have to be 2weeks for short flights xx

    Strictly speaking no, as you are at a high risk of developing a DVT/blood clot if you fly so soon after your BA. The information pack that the nurse gave me before my op stated that you can’t fly short haul for 3 weeks and long haul for 6 weeks…Can’t you move it to an earlier date? xx

    The problem is, I work as a admin in a factory which has shut-downs -(which means the whole factory shuts-down).

    I have to take the shut-downs off work so I only get 8 floater holidays for the whole year to take when I like.

    I get a week off for Whitsun, 2 weeks off in the summer and a week off for xmas.

    I’m also on holidays in my 2 week summer shut-down so the only time of the year I could have them done is just before my Whitsun shut-down so I then have that week off to recover. :(

    It would be a no. Also I wouldn’t have wanted to go away one week post op either. I’ve had no pain but after a week you feel your incisions more and are generally tired and need to recover x

    Like Dolly said the risk of DVT ect needs to be taken into consideration.

    I’m flying in and out for my op…they said I’d need to wait for 2 weeks before flying short haul. They insisted that I shouldn’t fly before this :) x
