Can you continue snowboarding after a breast augmentation? I have a skiing trip planned six months after my surgery?

July 18, 2018
Asked By:igargano20

Snowboarding is a big part of my life. It’s something I do as a hobby so I am curious since it’s a sport that contains hard falls then just going to the gym it’s a little more complex than waiting to heal to go to the gym then waiting to heal and go snowboarding? Just curious if I would have to stop snowboarding or be overly cautious? I have a trip planned six months after my surgery is that a safe time to go?
