I am a volunteer firefighter and I'm worried about the recovery time for implants placed under the muscle. Would having breast implants prevent me from being able to do firefighting?

Answer: Is it possible for firefighters to have implants? HI KayLee, It certainly is possible or firefighters to have implants. I have performed them on several in my area, and my patients have done very well. You need to wait 5-6 weeks before lifting or engaging in heavy athletic activities, but after that, barring any healing problems, you should be ready to resume your job.God Luck!Dr. Christine Rodgers

Would having breast i I am not aware of any profession that would prevent someone from having implants. There were over 300,000 women who had the elective procedure last year alone in America. Going behind the muscle will require some recovery time before you are ready to lift heavy objects. But, once you have recovered, you will not have any restrictions. God luck!

Answer: Firefighters and Breast implants? Breast implants will not prevent you from continuing with your job as a firefighter. The recovery from your surgery may be longer than the average patient as you have to wear very heavy equipment and carry heavy items. The average patient will fully recover to normal activities around 6-8 weeks. Discuss with your Plastic surgeon the amount of weight permissible for you depending on your recovery. Good luck.
