I wanted to make an appointment tomorrow to get a breast augmentation within the next few weeks but I go white water rafting in July. Should I wait until after the rafting trip to schedule the surgery or would it be fully healed before?
Answer: Rafting after breast augmentation I advise my patients to avoid strenuous use of the pectoral muscles for 6 weeks after surgery. That would include activities such as vigorous paddling while white water rafting. If you want to have your surgery before your trip, my office is also in Orange, and we could do it in time for you to have 6 or more weeks to recover. I could see you on Monday, May 8.

Answer: How long after BA to go white water rafting? Thanks for your question. You don't really give your surgery date or the planned date of your white water raft trip. We typically advise patients not to do any aerobics or extreme sports until at least 6 weeks following surgery. It's probably best if you talk to your own doctor regarding recommendations for exercise as they are most familiar with your case. Have a fun trip.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op Exercise Thank you for your question and congratulations on your decision to have breast augmentation surgery. Most patients are cleared to exercise by six weeks post-op. It is best to have an in-person discussion with your plastic surgeon for recommendations regarding your specific concerns. Good luck with your surgery.
