Can I Ski 3months After a BA?

Question

I am getting a BA in December but have a ski trip in Japan planned for early march

Christian A. Prada, MD, FACS · Answer

Typically in my practice I have patients return to full activities in about 4-5 weeks.  With your trip being 3 months out from Surgery, you should have a low risk of having a problem.

Recovery after breast augmentation is quite quick in my patients. I would follow the recommendations of your treating surgeon for specifics. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

3 months is a perfect delay from skiing if your implants are under the muscle.  I would still recommend good support during more aggressive skiing.  Have fun!!

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

In my practice I permit breast augmentation full activity after four weeks. However, this is a question that should be answered by your own plastic surgeon.

Three months after a routine uncomplicated breast augmentation you should be fine to ski.

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

I tell my patients that they need to avoid strenuous exercise for 3 to 4 weeks, unless you are having any kind of a complication, you should be fine to go skiing after 3 months. Check with your surgeon for clearance! Good luck.

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

I limit patients' exercise for one month after a breast augmentation.  That being said, definitely check with your plastic surgeon before confirming your trip!  Best of luck.

James E. Murphy, MD, FACS · Answer

As long as you have no complications, skiing three months post Breast Augmentation shouldn't pose any problems.  With that being said, always consult with your surgeon.

Gordon Lewis, MD · Answer

If you were planning to go skiing 3 weeks after breast augmentation, I would suggest that is too soon.  At that time, the tissue has partly healed but not fully.  

	I allow my patients to return to full activity 6 weeks after the surgery. There is clearly nothing magic about six weeks, but I have had a patient open up her incision three weeks after breast augmentation during (vigorous?) sex!

	good luck, have fun and pray for powder!

Robert Singer, MD · Answer

Have fun on the slopes! Barring any unforeseen complications, which are highly unlikely, patients should be able to ski after 3 months. Most plastic surgeons would allow patients to resume full exercising following a breast augmentation after 3-4 weeks. 

	I would suggest  that you discuss this and any other concerns with your plastic surgeon who should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
