How long after subglandulars can I go back to dancing?

Hello, thank you for your question. Although it is a less recovery in the sense that compared to sub muscular, a sub glandular implant means less pain ability to lift lights things slightly sooner, no post op massage of the implant unless there capsular contracture. Technically slightly shorted recovery in feeling back to normal but keep in mind that the skin where the sutures are placed and the tissue underneath is still healing up until the 4 w marking point. So perhaps with the advice of your Plastic Surgeon you can go back on post op week 5 vs 6. I would again suggest talking to your plastic surgeon before hand to not disrupt or deform the healing process which can potentially put you out for your longer.

Each surgeon has their own opinion therefore you should follow your surgeon’s, particularly since they’ll be more familiar with the specifics of your situation. Generally speaking, however, you’ll need to take some time off after surgery to recover, even if you’re not using your upper body when dancing. This could be anywhere from a month or more, depending on what your surgeon says. The same goes for taking time off before your surgery -please ask your surgeon.

Typically patients are able to return to strenuous activity after six weeks, which would include dancing. Your surgeon may vary this based on how you're progressing through recovery. There is no need to take time off prior to surgery.
