If a patient is traveling to me for surgery and will be flying then I advise they stay for 9 days. The reason for this is that the cabin pressure on the planes will cause swelling to occur and the nose will then take longer to get to it’s desired shape. Rarely, this may impact the final result. There is no medical risk to flying earlier and often time patients do it and I have seen no ill effects thus far, but ideally I would have them wait.
