I just got submuscular 400cc silicone implants about 2 weeks ago and am wondering when I can go back into Brazilian Jiujitsu again? My surgeon recommended 6 weeks for weight lifting. Jiujitsu is similar to wrestling; A lot of pushing body weight off of you or pressing body weight pressure onto someone else. My coach mentioned we could light grapple which means light to zero pressure wrestling just so I can keep up with my submissions and technique.
Answer: Breast Implants and Jiujitsu Of course you will want to get back to your busy life but don't rush back into things. Approaching your recovery as carefully and as thoughtfully as you did your other big choices will have a huge reward. Plan well, let your body heal naturally and relax. In about six weeks you can start to enjoy a healthy and beautiful new you. Your board certified plastic surgeon has likely performed thousands of breast augmentation procedures. You will not have a better gauge of your recovery than your doctor’s experienced and trained eye, even if you feel fine you will have no better peace of mind than your doctor’s approval to start martial arts.Best wishes!

Answer: Wait to resume Brazilian Jiujitsu until you are fully healed. In general, I advise my patients to refrain from strenuous athletic activities for at least 4 weeks. It's important to give your body time to heal after surgery. Resuming activities such as Brazilian Jiujitsu too soon can potentially impact your results or increase your risk of complications. I would suggest you discuss your Brazilian Jiujitsu workout routine with your plastic surgeon and follow your surgeon's recommendations regarding when it is safe to resume this activity.

Answer: Answer to: How soon can I wrestle again? Dear Ksauger, My advice is that patients can do any kind of exercising they wish two weeks after surgery. However, any more violent activities in which the body can be thrown such as skiing, water skiing, or martial arts really should wait four to six weeks. Otherwise, you risk dislodging the implant and pocket which need time to really firm up. I hope this has been helpful. Robert D. Wilcox, M.D.

Answer: BBA After BBA most patients can return to a light duty job in one week , and heavier duty jobs in 4-6 weeks depending on the activities required. Wrestling is certainly very aggressive and I would think that your surgeon would want you to wait at least 6 weeks. Please discuss this with him/her. Good luck
