My vacation is scheduled 4.5 weeks after my breast lift/ augmentation surgery. Although I do not want to swim or engage in a rigorous activity, I would like to know if it will be acceptable to submerge my breasts in the water. My surgeon has made it clear that there are no restrictions at 4 weeks post-op, but I have a small separation at the bottom of my areola that seems to be healing well so far (3 weeks post-op).

Thank you for your question about Breast Lift. Pictures would be helpful.Yes, if the nipple ducts are not disturbed, it should be possible to breast feed after a breast lift.There is no guarantee that you can breast feed though, even if you don't have surgery.
To be sure, see two or more...
This is generally temporary..this should improve with more time. The nerve endings can take up to 1 year to heal and regenerate. Be patient. Hope this helps. Good luck.Dr Vasisht
Thank you for your question and photos.It appears you will need an extended incision to reach that area even if you were to loose weight. Consider a breast lift revision employing The Horndeski Method. THM creates better cleavage with fewer scars and long term results. Take a look.Best wishes,
