Horseback riding after breast augmentation. How long should I wait before it is safe?

Thank you for your question. You should avoid horseback riding for at least 6 weeks after your surgery. This s what I recommend to my patients. Any activity that includes jarring up and down or side-to-side motion is discouraged as they can cause implants to shift. Good luck with your surgery.

Hi Digitalunicorn,The best person to make this recommendation will be your board-certified plastic surgeon. Personally, I would recommend at least 6 weeks and to continue good breast support. However, prior to clear you to go back riding, I would perform an exam to determine if additional time is needed. The fear is that you could accidentally fall and injure your surgery site.
