I had my breast augmentation on 6/16 we're going to our vacation house on the 4th of July, will I be able to submerge myself in the pool? My surgeon did a small incision under my boob that has healed well so far. Next question, how Long until I can sleep on my side? I always wake up on my side while sleeping. Should I be worried? I always wear a sports bra to bed.

Answer: How long do I have to wait before I submerge myself in water after breast augmentation? I recommend waiting at least four weeks before swimming or submerging yourself after a breast augmentation. You could ask your surgeon if he is okay with you doing so sooner or if he recommends any dressings to protect the area. #StayBeautiful @RealDrWorldWide

Answer: How long to wait before submergene into a pool of water HI ashley,You need to be in contact with your surgeon who should be answering these questions for you.I typically tell my patients that they cannot go swimming until the wounds are totally healed . The time for total healing can vary depending on the activities of the person, infection, bleeding , etc. Please discuss with your PS who can better evaluate you for these issues.Best,Dr, Christine Rodgers

Answer: Submerging after BA Dear ashleyc219,it would be the best to discuss this with your plastic surgeon because every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I wouldn't recommend submerging before your wound is fully healed. It usually take 3-4 weeks for the wound to fully heal. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
