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

Thank you for your question.  Although post operative instructions do vary from one plastic surgeon to another, I advise my patients to return to normal activities 4 weeks following breast augmentation.  For an aggressive tennis schedule, you may want to allow 6 weeks.  Best to follow the specific instructions of your plastic surgeon.  Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  That will be an adequate amount of time for your recovery.  The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
