SCUBA diving after Breast Lift and Implants?

Thank you for your question. This definitely depends on how the healing process went.  You definitely do not want to swim or Scuba dive if you have any open wound or recently healed wounds.  I usually tell patients 8-10 weeks before submerging for extended periods of time as long as the wounds healed well. 

In my practice, I would release you to scuba dive after 8-10 weeks.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

It is difficult to imagine, for me at least, how either scuba diving or  swimming would be detrimental in a well healed lift and segment. Myself I would give it a month and if the incisions are all solidly  healed I'd go ahead.  Haven't had anyone fall apart with that approach. Incidentally I have had pts tell me that their implants felt softer after diving. Surgeons   tend to be very conservative by nature and will give long time limits based on nothing other than guess and opinion. There is very little evidence to support waiting 3-4 months.  

Follow up with your Plastic Surgeon so he can monitor your healing, as every patient heals at different rates.  In general, many patients resume scuba diving within 9 to 12 weeks.  Best wishes!
