It is usually recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after surgery before traveling by air. This is the time when you will have sufficient recovery and a reduced risk of complications, such as thrombosis or fluid retention. It is important to consult with your surgeon before making a travel decision, as they may be able to provide specific advice regarding your individual recovery. Also, during the trip you need to get up and exercise frequently to prevent blood clotting.

I have loose skin on my stomach and am wondering if liposuction and skin removal are options. I've never had a flat stomach, even at my lowest weight, so I'm not worried about that.

I am 40 years old and after pregnancy I have fat deposits on my hips. Can liposuction be effective for my problem and is it safe for my age?

Good day! I started to notice fatty deposits around my stomach and waist that didn't disappear even after dieting and exercising. Is liposuction the right option for my problem? I forgot to mention that I am 49 years old.
