I am considering having my breast augmentation out of state. The return flight will be about 2 1/2 hours. I have read that it is safe to fly the day after and I have also read that you should wait 5-7 days. I would really like to fly home the next day but am unsure if it would be okay. If I did fly home the next day could it cause complications or bleeding or anything. I would just like any information about flying afterwards that you may know

You should not fly for at least a few months after any type of breast surgery.
Ask your PS!!! They are getting paid to take care of you and that includes "when can I fly" questions. They would know best when you can fly.
It is best to wait until at least 8 weeks after your surgery before taking any trips. However, if you find that you must take a plane trip before you are 8 weeks post op, be aware that you can be putting yourself at risk for healing complications by traveling early in your recovery. Take care of yourself while you travel. Anything you do to prevent healing complications is helpful.

I don't know about flying, but you might want to consider whether your local doctor would to take care of you if there were any complications from the surgery. I wouldn't be too eager to leave the area of the doctor so quickly. And you certainly need to visit with your local physician before you go to let them know in case of any complications.
