You should definitely consult with your surgeon about flying after surgery, and it would be safer to plan long-distance travel, in particular, after checking your recovery status and the risk of blood clots.
Post-surgery flights vary depending on the surgical site and recovery status. Generally, it's safest to wait at least 1-2 weeks for nose/breast surgeries and over 2 weeks for liposuction, after confirming with your doctor before flying.
For long-haul flights, there's a risk of DVT, so wearing compression garments, staying hydrated, and walking in the cabin are important. If you are taking any medications like anticoagulants, be sure to consult your doctor in advance.
Flying after surgery depends on your individual recovery status and the extent of the procedure, so it's safest to schedule your flight only after confirming with your surgeon.
