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

I
igargano20Jul 18, 2018

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?

Thank you for your question! When undergoing general anesthesia, intubation is part of the process to keep the airway open and continue the flow of oxygen to the lungs. So the answer to your question is yes, there is a breathing tube used during breast augmentation surgeries. Best of luck!

Austin.  I do not recommend any sort of sauna treatment after breast augmentation surgery for at least one month to allow your body to heal. The human body will detox all anesthesia medications on its own, and sauna therapy is not needed and can be harmful. Follow up with your board-certified ...
