Kayaking after breast revision? Mentor, silicone cohesive gel, placed in 2007

June 24, 2024
Asked By:Areynolds34 in Seattle, Washington

I have 2 consultations scheduled for a breast revision. I believe that my right silicone implant has ruptured due to the sudden changes in its shape, size, and deep visible rippling. I kayak and backpack frequently throughout the year. First question, is it safe to kayak with a potentially ruptured implant? Second, how long after surgery would be typical for someone to go back to those types of activities? I appreciate everyone's time in replying to this.
