Bilateral Hematoma Following Air Travel after Breast Augmentation: A Cautionary Tale and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we report a rare incidence of bilateral hematoma following air travel in a patient who had recently undergone breast augmentation surgery. The case underscores the potential risks associated with flying shortly after such procedures. Through a literature review, we aimed to explore the incidence rates and highlight the need for further research in this area. This case report aims to raise awareness among healthcare professionals and patients about the need for cautious post-surgical travel planning to mitigate the risk of similar complications.
