Air travel after masectomy

I want to ask this on behalf of my wife. She will be having surgery late winter to remove breast cancer. There is a fair chance she will have to do a masectomy (hoping for a good chemo outcome and a lumpectomy though).
I know her doctor will be the final call on this, but I wanted to get a sense on healing after such a procedure and how long after surgery you should wait to do air travel? Our family always does an early spring vacation and we really don't want cancer to mess with our plans
