If I have mastoplexy on November 20th, will I be recovered enough to go skiing with my family December 28th?
Answer: I usually require 6 weeks after surgery for strenuous activity. If you are having a straight mastopexy without implants and your healing is normal and not complicated, I think you should be fine. If you had implants placed along with your breast lift, you might want to consider a longer waiting period, as a direct blow/fall on your chest could arguably affect your implant and the pocket that they are healing in. Of course check with your plastic surgeon and get clearance prior to any strenuous activity as he/she knows the details of your procedure.

Answer: Skiing after mastopexy? Most likely, given the interval time of about 5 weeks, you should be good to go. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource given that he/she knows exactly what was done, how you are progressing, and exactly what you plan to do. Best wishes with your upcoming procedure.

Answer: Skiing after a mastopexy If you were in my office, skiing a month following a uncomplicated mastopexy should be doable. If your implants are above the muscle, there should be no issues. If your implants are below the muscle, see what activities with your poles may cause your muscles to contract and consider avoid them if you're worried. But since I'm not your surgeon, its best to get the blessings of your surgeon so don't hesitate to ask him/her.
