How soon after surgery before it is safe to drive depends on the problem to be treated, what was done, Comfort After Gynecomastia Surgery, Compression Garments After Male Breast Reduction, anesthesia used, the type of vehicle, and many other factors best discussed with your own surgeon.  Driving while on strong pain medication or while in pain is just not usually safe.  With my techniques, my patients are typically able to drive several hours after surgery.

Hope this helps,

I drove the same day after my surgery... several hours later though.
