Hi, thanks for sharing your surgery plan — sounds like you’ve got a pretty intense schedule ahead. When you’re combining major procedures like a 360 tummy tuck, breast lift, and then a facelift shortly after, your body is going through a lot all at once. Even if everything goes smoothly, healing takes time, and each procedure adds to the overall strain on your system.

Generally speaking, flying 8 or 9 days after a facelift — especially when it’s following two other major surgeries — can be quite soon. Even if you feel okay on the outside, your body is still working hard to heal beneath the surface. There’s also the risk of post-op swelling, fluid retention, or even more serious issues like blood clots when flying long distances, especially after abdominal surgery.

Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 2 to 3 weeks after your last procedure before flying, just to make sure your body has had enough time to stabilize. Of course, some people do travel earlier — but only if cleared by their surgeon and if healing has gone perfectly.

If there’s any way to give yourself a few extra days, it could really help minimize risks and make the journey home much more comfortable. Better to take it slow than to push it and end up dealing with complications mid-flight or back home.

Wishing you the smoothest recovery possible
