Long flight after cosmetic surgery: effect of seat class and compression stockings on leg vein swelling
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how different seating classes (business/first vs. economy) and wearing compression stockings on long flights affect leg vein swelling after cosmetic surgery. Participants will have an ultrasound to check the veins before and after the flight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 65 years.
- Flying to Bogota with a flight time of at least 4 hours.
- You must already have booked a ticket in business/first class or economy class.
- You must not have any medical reason that would prevent you from wearing compression stockings or having an ultrasound.
- You must be able to complete an ultrasound before your flight and up to 48 hours after your flight.
- You must not have blood clots, take blood thinners, be pregnant, or have skin or leg problems that would make compression stockings unsafe.

This trial tests whether wearing a certain type of compression stocking during a long economy-class flight helps prevent veins in the legs from widening after plastic surgery. If you are planning such a trip, the study may help you recover more safely and comfortably.
This study looks at how flying in premium versus economy class affects the size of a leg vein (the popliteal vein) after a long flight, which may help understand blood clot risk during travel. It compares people who fly in either cabin class before having an aesthetic surgery.
This study measures the size of a vein in your leg before, during, and after a long flight to Bogota. It aims to understand how flying affects that vein, which may help prevent blood clots. You must be flying to Bogota for at least 4 hours and be willing to have several vein ultrasounds.
This study looks at how patients who have had vein surgery learn about anti-embolic stockings (special tight stockings that help prevent blood clots). It may help improve how information is given to patients after surgery.
This study tests if wearing compression stockings after surgery can help prevent blood clots in people who already need to take blood thinners for an extended period. The stockings are used in addition to the blood thinners.
This study tests whether adding a special physiotherapy program can help reduce leg swelling in people with vein disease. If you have swelling from varicose veins or other vein problems and have not tried certain treatments before, you may be able to join.
