I Want a Breast Augmentation but I Am Due to Deploy Within the Next 4 Months. Is It Safe?

I do office work but I do run into the occasion vigorous activity. Is it safe? Or do I have to wait? I am a very quick healer and have high pain tolerance if that makes a difference. By the time I have the surgery I will only have 2 to 3 months before i depart.

Deployment after augmentation...

Three months is plenty of time to heal and return to normal activities with an uncomplicated procedure. However, at least in the USAF, one needs commander approval prior to an elective procedure.

Breast Augmentation 3-4 Months Before Deployment

There should not be a problem with having your augmentation and then deploying 3-4 months later. Unless there is a major complication (which would be very unlikely), everything should be well healed and back to normal at that point in time.

Work after breast augmentation

4 months is normally entirely adequate to have comfortably resumed all normal and usual activity. I normally advise limited activity until 6 weeks after surgery followed by graduated return to all normal activities. Hope this helps you make your decision. Best wishes

I will not need a lift or anything else. My breasts are pretty perky still even after the two children. There is mild saggin but nothing drastic. Check out the profile picture to see for yourself.
