Is it safe to go back to horseback riding after BR with implants? (Photo)

Question

Hey I am 6 weeks after my BR/Lift with small implants. My PS did give me his ok to go back to my horseback riding. I ride at least 5 times a week. I am a little concerned about my new perky high breast so. Even with wearing a sports bra do I risk them loosing there shape/position this early specially while trotting? I just paid a lot of money for them and I would like to keep them where they are. So do you have any suggestion or input on this? Can you recommend a serious supportive sports bra?

You really should be able to do most anything 6 weeks after your surgery, even horseback riding. Wearing a supportive sports bra would be a good idea while you are riding. Have fun.

Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction/augmentation procedures. Based on your photographs, it seems like  your plastic surgeon has done a very nice job for you. I would suggest that you follow his/her recommendations, as opposed to what you might find is conflicting/confusing advice online. In my practice, I would also suggest the use of a non-under wired supportive sports bra which does not apply too much pressure along the healing incision lines. If in doubt, about returning to potentially traumatic activities such as horseback riding, wait… Best wishes.

Riding a horse at 6 weeks should be just fine.  Be sure to wear ar least one good supportive bra.  Over the next number of months your implants will settle some no matter what yu do.  Gravity is gravity.  Enjoy yourself.

If your doctor gave you the OK to horseback ride then I would follow his recommendations. Good luck and enjoy the results.
