Backpacking and Hiking after Breast Augmentation

March 27, 2014
Asked By:AA annie

I am an avid hiker and backpacker. I typically carry around 40-50 pounds in my backpack for 10-13 miles per day over a period of 5-10 days. My backpack has a sternum strap, and I want to make sure that this will not adversely affect my implants (assuming I wait at least six weeks after surgery to go on an excursion). The implants are both 350cc silicone, placed under the muscle. Thank you!

Asif Pirani, MD, FRCS(C) says:

There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined...
