Breast augmentation and tennis: is it enough time to fully recover and start to play?

  
Timing to return to specific types of exercise will vary from one patient to another. Best to check with your plastic surgeon for specific advice.  
 In our practice, I ask patients to start walking from day one. Lower extremity exercise, such as use of stationary bicycle, weights, lunges... can be resumed at the two-week mark (sometimes sooner depending on the exact operation performed and how the patient is doing clinically).  Returned to upper body workout and running usually begins 4 to 6 weeks post op.  In my practice, assuming you are doing well, I would okay your return to tennis beginning/middle of August.

 Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

I appreciate your question.  
Typically, my guideline is, the first week is the hardest. By the second week you feel better, at four weeks you feel 100% and at six weeks you can go back to complete normal routines and exercising.  
Four days after surgery, I would be careful as you are still at risk for bleeding. If you are taking any pain medication, I would not drink alcohol.  With my 'Schwartz Rapid Recuperation' recovery, most of my patients are out to dinner the following evening.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery. 
  
Best of luck!

Thank you for your question!  I recommend that my patients wait 3 weeks until resuming cardio exercise such as elliptical without the arms, treadmill, seated exercise bike, and stair master and  6 weeks until resuming full physical activity such as weight lifting, yoga, or in your case, swinging a tennis racket.  Each surgeon will have their own guidelines for physical activity following breast augmentation so ask your plastic surgeon what he or she recommends.  Best of luck!
