Dr. Shirley Madhere’s Top 3 Tips on Traveling Post-Plastic Surgery

As my go-to person for anything related to skin care or cosmetic surgery, I asked well-known holistic plastic surgeon Dr. Shirley Madhere about particular precautions we need to take when traveling post-plastic surgery.

Dr. Shirley (as she is most often called) approaches treatment from a holistic perspective that integrates cutting-edge Western medicine with a variety of complementary modalities in order ensure the best possible care and outcomes for her patient.

Carolyn:“How long, typically, do you have to wait after minor surgery to fly?”
Dr. Madhere: “A minimum of one (1) week.  However, after plastic surgery, it is advisable not to be at complete rest, since deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) may occur up to one (1) month (4 weeks) after surgery.”

Carolyn: “How should you care for your skin post surgery, with respect to the sun/water/etc?”
Dr. Madhere: “1) Care for skin specifically as directed by your surgeon  2) Keep skin well moisturized  3) Minimize make-up  4) Avoid facials, micodermabrasion, laser and other adjunctive procedures until directed by your surgeon.

Carolyn: “What are the top 3 things you recommend taking with you on vacation post surgery?”
Dr. Madhere: “1) All care products advised by your surgeon  2) Refined facial essential oil  3) Moisturizer with sunscreen. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office 1-212-941-1571.”
