I was wondering if it is safe for me to go swimming or submerge my breasts in water yet? I am a month and 2 days since the surgery (4.5 weeks). Also when can I start wearing a push up bra or swimsuit top? My incisions are healing nicely and were closed with skin glue. Thank you!
Answer: Swimming post breast augmentation Thank you for your question! For my patients having a breast augmentation, I recommend they wait until all of the dermabond skin glue comes off of the incisions before submerging them underwater. This typically takes 3-6 weeks. When all of the surgical glue is off, and incisions are completely closed and healed, it is ok to submerge incisions underwater and go swimming. I recommend discussing specific post op instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Activity one month after augmentation All surgeons have a postoperative protocol for resuming activities and wearing of certain clothing, and you should request guidance from yours. In our practice, patients may go in a pool or submerge fully in a tub one week after surgery. At one month postop, they may resume full activities without restriction. They may also resume wearing pushup bras, or go without a bra at this point.
