Is It Safe to Swim 5 weeks After Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question.Your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to guide you in regards to activity resumption after breast  augmentation surgery. From the healing standpoint most patients are able to swim again starting 3 to 6 weeks after surgery.From the safety standpoint,  much of the timing of returning to swimming will depend on exactly what you mean by “swimming while on vacation”. For some people this means wading knee-high in small waves;  for some people it may means swimming  long distances in choppy water.  For this reason, return to activities should be individualized  and gradual.  I hope this helps.

Swimming may be possible at 5 weeks if you do not strain too hard, but it's better to wait at least 6 weeks.  Ask your surgeon for their advice, though.
