I got a breast reduction and im healing at an amazing rate and im very happy! Although, I play volleyball competitively and I know that I wont be able to dive for a while, does anyone have an idea or an estimate of when I would be able to? I asked my surgeon a few times and she said 3-4 weeks but I feel that that is not right because you hit the floor hard when you dive and I dont think my boobs are ready for that. I want to play volleyball as soon as I can but im scared im gonna mess them up?
