When is it safe to go on a rollercoaster after a breast augmentation?

Question

Hello, I had a brest augumentation few months ago and it all went well (under the muscle). When is it safe to go for a rollercoaster ride while having new implants?

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

After an uncomplicated breast augmentation, many patients are cleared for higher-impact activities once the incisions are healed, swelling is settling, and the surgeon has released them to full activity, often around 6 to 12 weeks. At a few months out, a rollercoaster is usually not a problem if you have no pain, tightness, unusual swelling, wound issues, or implant-position concerns.

The safest answer is to confirm with your own surgeon, because they know your pocket, implant position, and healing. Wear a supportive bra, avoid rides if you still feel soreness or pulling, and stop if you notice pain or swelling afterward.

Hi & thanks for your question!
At this point it is fine to go on amusement park rides. Check with your surgeon if you are concerned. Best wishes!

Thank you for your inquiry. Our recommendation for breast augmentation post op recovery is no heavy lifting or exercise for 3 weeks.(21 days) After 21 days we have no restrictions. You can speak with your surgeon as other surgeons may have different post op recommendations.

Thank you,

Dear Lexiealex,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

I typically tell my patients that once they hit the 3 month mark post-op they no longer have any restrictions. As long as you are close to that time or past it, you should be fine in my opinion. Have fun on those rollercoasters.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

If you are past 8 weeks from surgery with no healing issues, then you should be able to ride a roller coaster. If you have any concerns, please ask your surgeon.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Congratulations on your surgery!  Each surgeon has her/his own post op protocol on returning to activity so this question is best answered by your surgeon.  The shortest time frame would likely be 6 weeks and the longest 3 months, but your surgeon will advise you.
