Hello and thank you for asking HCM.
I understand your concerns and i will answer at your question.
I wish you all the bests and good health since you are recovering from the surgery. Now according to your question,it is safe to flight 4 weeks after the keyhole surgery. Your body is healed and no problems at all for you. Usually us doctors,give the green light to flight after 1 or 2 days from keyhole surgery. Since you will fly 4 weeks after your surgery,i wish you a nice trip.
