I was told that a short haul flight after 4 weeks and a long haul flight after 6 weeks was okay. Also, I was told that I shouldn’t get my incisions wet for at least 6 weeks, so no submerging in a bath or swimming until I have passed that point. My nurse has advised that she will tell me at my 6 week post op appointment whether she is happy for me to resume these activities, depending on how well my healing is going by that point. My best advice would be to schedule your 6 week post op appointment for just before your holiday so that you can get your incisions checked out just before you go and gain clinical advice with regards to whether you are healed enough to get them wet yet.
