Is it safe to zip line 4 weeks post breast augmentation? I have a trip and my husband wants to zipline.

Question

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

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. I recommend that you ask your Plastic Surgeon what they advise for you as they know your situation the best.Take care

Shim Ching, MD · Answer

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.  In my practice, I would ask you wait to 8 weeks unless you can do this activity without raising your arms above your head or engaging the pectoralis (chest) muscle.Aloha,Shim Ching, MD

Joseph G. Bauer, MD, FACS · Answer

In my practice I would recommend a patient wait 6-8 weeks post operatively before zip lining. For further instruction I would recommend you follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Check with your surgeon prior to your trip.  In general I would ask my patient not to zipline for 6 to 8 weeks following surgery.

Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

Please ask your plastic surgeon if you are ready to zip line after 4 weeks.  Your surgeon knows the details of your procedure and is the best person to answer your question.  That said in my practice I would want you to wait 6-8 weeks before you've proceed to zip line.
