Hi, I’m having breast augmentation soon, am a 5’3” 115 pounds woman. Going from a small A cup and getting 360cc’s. I dance Argentine Tango. It is not a jumpy vigorous dance, more smooth. However, the embrace is quite close and partners are usually chest to chest. Do you think it will be ok to dance in this way 4 weeks post op if the healing seems to be going well? Thank you!
Answer: Dancing after breast augmentation Thanks for your inquiry, of course it is best to ask your surgeon's opinion. The factors to consider include above or below muscle, do you need to practice in advance, is it possible you might fall, how much chest and upper arm muscles are used and have you healed on schedule. Ask your surgeon and best of luck.

Answer: Can I dance the Argentine Tango 4 weeks post BA? Most patients should be perfectly safe resuming normal activity a month after breast augmentation. If the implants are under the muscle you may experience some discomfort and post activity soreness for a while. It is however, always recommended that you follow your surgeon's protocol and limit your activity until he or she releases you.

Answer: Dancing after Augmentation We recommend no exercise or heavy lifting for 3 weeks(21 days) post op. After 21 days our patients do not having any restrictions. I would check with your surgeon on what his post op guidelines are and follow his/her instructions. Thank you, Dr. (Joe) Gryskiewicz

Answer: Ask your surgeon It depends on the advice of your surgeon, since each surgeon has their own post-op instructions. They’re also more familiar with the specifics of your situation, so it would be best to follow their advice.

Answer: YES, absolutely, in my opinion; always best to check with your surgeon's protocol I advise my patients the following: LIFTING- For the first few days, you will need to depend on someone else to lift your baby or toddler. On the third day (if you had surgery on Monday, Day 3 is Thursday), you can pick up your child to transfer them to a crib, high chair or car seat. This rule is to ensure your comfort and minimize the risk of bleeding around the implants. You should not carry your child for extended periods until a couple of weeks after surgery. WORKING- More than 90 percent of my patients are back to work in office setting by the fifth day after surgery. Patients who use their arms a lot – including hairstylists, waitresses and nurses – are comfortably back to work by the end of the second week.
