Hey guys,

Does anyone know how long after a periareolar can you fly?  I'm planning to go overseas for my surgery and just want to know how long it will take.

Thank you and much love

I imagine your question may now be moot, but... I had DI with grafts and flew 48 hours later. That said, I was only on the plane for about four hours, though I don't know that longer would have seemed that different re surgery. The main thing was having someone else to carry my bag, etc. Good luck or hope it went well!  :)

No idea if this is still relevant but... I didn't have peri but DI instead. I flew the day after, so er, around 30-ish hours after. But I was only on the plane for around 40 minutes. It was no issue for me, actually the taxi ride to the airport was worse. Also I did not have drains. I don't know if that makes any difference though.
