Hello,Thank you for your question. As others have said, 4 weeks is generally considered too soon post op to be doing strenuous upper body activity. I would recommend my patients wait until at least 6 weeks post op and then gradually increase activity over a period of roughly 3 months.

Four weeks after your surgery may be a little too early for an activity like ziplining. Every surgeon has their own restrictions on activity after breast augmentation.
