Can i go into a natural Spring 2 weeks after Breast Augmentation surgery without getting an infection? It wouldn't be salt water, it would be natural fresh water, and what if i was to be tipped over in my tube and go in completely. Should i be worried?
Answer: Can I Be Immersed in Water 2 Weeks After Breast Augmentation? Thank you for the question.Your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to guide you in regards to activity resumption after breast augmentation surgery. From the healing standpoint most patients are able to swim again starting 3 to 6 weeks after surgery. Best wishes.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Swimming I tell my patients no swimming or tubing for least 4 weeks. Spring water is not sterile and contains a great deal of bacteria. I do suggest that your plastic surgeon gives you the final OK for swimming since he/she has examined you and knows how well you are healing.

Answer: Best to wait 6 weeks.... Patients are eager to return to normal activity as soon as possible following cosmetic surgery.Unfortunately, returning to normal activity too soon can result in an increased potential for complications.Swimming and spending time in a hot spring are both activities that could potentially have negative consequences if resumed too soon.Theoretically, once the skin edges have sealed in about 48 hours following surgery, these activities can be resumed.In reality, small absorbable interrupted sutures may break through the skin and become exposed.In this situation, infection could occur in a Jacuzzi, hot spring, pool, pond or ocean.Each of these environments may have unique and, in many cases, antibiotic resistant bacteria that could lead to a significant infection. In addition, plastic surgeons generally don’t recommend resumption of strenuous activities for at least six weeks following breast augmentation surgery.Swimming can create significant strain on the core muscles and should therefore, be avoided in the immediate post-operative period. It is important to remember that every patient’s procedure and post-operative course is unique.For these reasons, make sure you consult your plastic surgeon before getting into the water.

Answer: Water immersion 2 weeks post op. Running soap and water over an incision is usually a good thing. Soaking or submerging an incision before it is epithelized is usually not. Please ask your plastic surgeon, as many have differing opinions about this. Also, he/she may have an opinion based on your individual case.

Answer: Ask Your Surgeon, But It Should Be Okay Depending On Your Recovery At two weeks after your surgery, you should be okay to go underwater. However, this is only if your surgeon says it's okay and your recovery has been going well. Please ask your surgeon for their advice. Regardles, however, please make sure you cover up your incisions from sun exposure, as not doing so can make your scars much more noticeable.
