Roller coasters, skydiving, bungee jumping, parasailing after breast implants

Question

Hi Dr.'s. Thanks in advance for your answers. I'm on vacation with my family in Cabo and I'm planning to take everyone out for an "adventure day" where we can pick from several different activities. I'm thinking of skydiving or bungee jumping, but I'm only 5 weeks post op (surgery was January 15) I had a lift and Breast implants (textured round). Is skydiving/bungee jumping/parasailing/roller coasters safe this soon after surgery? If so, what are the precautions I should take? Thanks!

Thanks for your inquiry.  Honestly, touch base with your surgeon he/she will know how well you are healed.  Some patients may be ready at 5 weeks for more strenuous activity while others are far from it, good luck.

I advise my patients to wait 3 months before skydiving. Rollercoasters are ok from 5 weeks on. Always important, though, to check with your surgeon's protocol.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

You have not fully healed internally and could potentially ruin your result by these vigorous activities. This takes at least 3 months. Go ahead and take the family on adventures, just watch them and don't do them yourself.
