How soon after second breast augmentation (under breast incision) can you go swimming?

Question

I am just curious how soon after getting a second BA can you go swimming in a swimming pool fully submerged? Thank you

Dear lauraleep,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Usually it is 4 to 6 weeks before you can swim, but your surgeon will let you know for sure after examining your scars.

Dear Laura,
You really need to ask your implant surgeon.  I have my patients getting back to activities and swimming at 4 weeks post op.
