After knee replacement surgery, most doctors recommend waiting at least 1 to 3 weeks before flying, depending on individual recovery and any potential complications. It's important to consult your surgeon for personalized advice, as factors like your overall health and the specifics of your surgery can influence this timeline. Additionally, consider potential leg swelling and the need for mobility during the flight. Compression stockings and regular movement during the flight may also be advised to reduce the risk of blood clots.
