I am 21 years old, I am very athletic and I have thought about increasing my breasts for the first time. The exercises I do involve a lot of flexibility, body strength, power and some strange poses hehe. Could you tell me if it suits me or not for my physical activity to perform any surgical intervention? I really don't want an extra volume in my boobs, I just want a little change to make them seem fuller
Answer: Procedure recommendation Thank you for your question! Having a breast augmentation will not effect your athletic routine negatively. However, during your immediate post op recovery, I recommend taking 3 weeks off of cardio at the gym, and 6 weeks off of weight training and yoga. For gymnastics and any vigorous activity, I recommend waiting 6 weeks before resuming. I recommend discussing specific post op instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast Augmentation and athleticism You can be very physically active and athletic and still get breast augmentation surgery. That said, you need to be prepared to take at least 4-6 weeks off to recover before you resume any vigorous exercise. Best to book an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to assess whether this is the right procedure for you and to discuss any questions or concerns that you might have. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration when deciding on a breast augmentation surgery such as your anatomy, current breast size, the type of implant, the type of incision, etc...and all this should be discussed in person with your doctor.

Answer: Athletic Breast Augmentation Thanks for the question. It is very achievable to have breast augmentation surgery and be athletic. The one thing I always take into consideration is sub-glandular versus sub-pectoral placement of the breast implant. My preference is to place the implant sub-pec but advise my patients not to train pectoral muscles. Over development of this muscle group and cause breast implants to displace and look unnatural. As always, it is best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. Communication is key!

Answer: Should I have a breast augmentation if I practice contortion, hand balance, and artistic gymnastics? Hello and thank you for your question. You should still be able to perform your current activities after breast augmentation. I

Answer: Consider subfascial or split muscle implant placement for athlete Although thin and athletic women are more at risk for implant visibility if they are placed above the muscle, the dual plane method for under muscle placement has drawbacks that you should be aware of. For one, because a portion of the pectoral muscle is detached, you can lose strength and have diminished function of it. Another manifestation of this is animation deformity, which has been reported to occur in a high percentage of women with dual plane. If you don't go too large then subfascial (in front of the muscle) or split muscle (which does not detach the muscle but preserves upper pole coverage) should be a good solution.
