Skydiving and other extreme activities ~3 weeks after chin implant?

Question

Hello, I just had a chin implant, and may do skydiving and other extreme activities in a few weeks. I'm also an avid scuba diver and would like to do this as well. Is this safe or okay for my implant, or should I completely refrain from skydiving/scuba? Which extreme activities can I do? Thank you!

Always check with your surgeon on how to progress with physical activity after surgery. You should avoid any activity where there is a chance your chin could be struck or could experience undue pressure until your surgeon says it is completely recovered.

Dear pvlife, It is best to discuss your proposed activities with your surgeon as he/she knows best where you are in the recovery phase. You want to avoid any possibility of firm contact or extreme pressure for a few months. You should be back to your extreme activities in no time but its best to be protect your current investment. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
