hi all,

when i finish my lengthening i will have to fly for 25 hours to go back home (it would be 5 + 17 with a 3 hour break). if i am on precice 2 nails will it be possible to fly? the concern is not with blood clots (i will take a blood thinner before flying) but with not being able to walk.

how does one use the restroom? restrooms on airplanes are already too small for able bodied people and for someone who needs a wheelchair it would be impossible. the airlines say they will help passengers get to the restroom but not inside the restroom.

breaking the nails on a flight would be horrible. so i am going to use a walker or crutches. 

any tips?

Be careful, I was told during my consultation that flying with Precise nails can cause severe pain, too. It's best for you to consult with your doc on how to approach this.

which doctor said that? and why does the pain occur specifically while flying? is it only for precice and not for other nails?

btw i was asking about flying back just after finishing lengthening

Dr Betz said Precise, and only Precise, may hurt when he explained the pros and cons of each nail. I think it has something to do with pressure and something being trapped inside the nail.

Having said that, do by all means consult with your doc. Perhaps the risk is negligible and if not, he will tell you what can be done to prevent it from happening.

There's a compression chamber in Precise and Stryde. The air pressure difference between the air cabin and the nail chamber forces the gas inside to escape/expand, causing the pain.

It is likely a rare occurence that Betz is quoting. He explained this to me too, but I have yet to see it corroborated by any diary.

strange, i've not heard any other doctor mention this, especially precice doctors. people keep their nails for years and i'm sure there would be plenty of people who have traveled the world after consolidation and the issue should have come up.
