Hello,
My surgery is booked for the 7th January and I will be flying back from Istanbul to the UK at 10:25am on the 9th January which is around a 4 hour flight I believe. The doctor has recommended 3000-3500 grafts
I have a couple of questions
1) Will I be ok to drive from the airport to my house when I get back (2 hours) or should I arrange to be picked up? The doctor said that it should be ok so i'm trusting him but I have seen in rare cases the swelling can close your eyes!
2) What were your experiences travelling back 2 days after the operation in regards to people staring at your bloodied heads, and if you got any curious looks from the passengers around you on the plane etc. I'd like to wear a cap but I'm worried about damaging the grafts so I think I'll just have to accept some stares and unease from my neighbours on the plane lol.
Thanks! I'll be sure to create a thread after the surgery
