How Long After Breast Augmentation Can I Got to the Beach?
I had my BA 5 days (2nd of January) ago and I previously booked a cruise for the 2nd of February so it will be a moth after my BA and I'm curious to know whether I will be able to go to the beach by then? Will i be able to go in the sea and swimming pool? I'm scared of whether im not going to be able to enjoy the cruise :(

This is a question best asked to your surgeon. Most likely you can go to the beach after a month, but he probably will not want you to swim.

Beach after Breast Implants
Every doctor has his/her own protocol for post-operative care. You should check with your doctor on this. In my practice, I allow patients to resume non-physical activity as soon as they feel up to it and physical activity after three weeks. If you were my patient then I would be fine with your going to the beach or participating in strenuous/physical activity on the date that you mentioned.

Enjoy your cruise!! You should be just fine to wear your swimsuit, but discuss swimming with your Plastic Surgeon.

How Long After Breast Augmentation Can I Got to the Beach?
I certainly see no problem with going to the beach. It takes 6 weeks for the incision to reach 90% of its ultimate strength, and that is often the basis for permitting return to full activity at that time.
The question of swimming should be directed to your own surgeon. If you will not be vigorously swimming, you might well get an OK.
Best wishes.

Beach and swimming after breast implants
Every surgeons has his own recommendations but I usually tell my patients to wait 6 weeks before they exercice. Going in the water at one month should not be an issue if your scars have healed normally. I would recommend that you follow your surgeon advice.
Enjoy your cruise!

Going Swimming after Breast Augmentation
One month following breast augmentation, swimming would likely not be a great idea. Tanning and sun exposure in general will cause the scars to hyperpigment.

Beach after augment
You will be able to go to the beach but should discuss swimming with your plastic surgeon. Also, it is important to repeatedly apply sunscreen and to avoid burning of your chest skin, which will slow the healing. Have a great cruise and do things in moderation!

Beach time after Breast Augmentation
The questions you raise are not uncommon and usually dealt with before the procedure but I see no problem with enjoying your cruise. Clean water, either pool or salt water, should not be a problem. Be careful about getting your incisions in the sun this could cause darkening of the scars. In that a bathing suit gives little support I would be careful with activities that would involve your shoulders or upper arms. Have Fun!
