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

K
kgarnet16Feb 16, 2018

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!

Sizers are a great way to help choose a good size of implant. Bring a bra in the size you’d like as well as a tight white t-shirt to wear over top and try on sizers in the suggested range at your surgeon’s office. While wearing them, think about your lifestyle and if they’d “get in the way” of...

Thanks for your inquiry, I suggest you call your plastic surgeon to discuss because without an exam it is hard to advise.  In general terms, patients can experience some pain the first time they work out and best of luck.

I have not used the Inspira prostheses. The concept is interesting, but not totally tried and true. I personally prefer gel prostheses that are moderate-plus or high profile to give the ideal projection. In my practice, my gel/saline prostheses are 98%/2%. It is the patient's ultimate decision...

Your breasts look excellent 5 years after the reduction mammoplasty. To gain fullness superiorly, a high profile prosthesis can be placed sub-muscular and centralize it to give more upper pole fullness. It is hard to determine actual implant size by the photo. Whenever I perform a primary...
