I am worried about it affecting my ability to climb 20ft, wrap myself in silks and drop safely. I do not want about the muscle because I am petite with very little breast tissue. Is it possible to have natural looking implants and continue to do intense aerial exercise? Google videos like Pencil Drop, Double Star Drop, Suicide Drop, Ankle Drop, to get an idea of what I do (I'm on instagram aerialjacky for a better idea of the aerial stuff. I don't want to not be able to do this after surgery.
Answer: Breast augmentation Very impressive- I would equate your skills to those of professional body builders whom I recommend consider implants over the muscle. Extreme lifting with very strong pectoral muscles can squeeze the implant out and result in distortion over time. Higher filled Sientra gels or Natrelle Inspira implants are good choices.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Aerial acrobat wants augmentation Excellent question and that is an amazing skill set that you have. Breast augmentation can be done in your case and be done under the muscle. The major issues of course involve your occupation. You will need to have a longer than normal recovery time after surgery prior to returning to your job. You also may have a higher risk of displacement of the implant with muscle contraction than a typical patient. That means that the implant may move when you contract your chest muscle. Some people have minimal distortion despite heavy muscle contraction others don't and there is no way to predict. That is why above the muscle augmentation is recommended to athletic patients.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. This is fine as long as you refrain from aerial tricks for 4-6 weeks. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Breast Augmentation Yes, I recommend a smooth, round, silicone "Gummy Bear" implant placed in a submuscular plane. This is still ideal depite your aerial tricks. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Best wishes! Dr. Desai

Answer: Breast augmentation and return to "intense exercise"... Thank you for the question. Long-term patients who undergo breast augmentation surgery (barring any complications) should be able to return to all activities with full strength. I do recommend the use of the sub muscular (dual plane) position of breast implants for most patients undergoing breast augmentation surgery, including athletes of all kinds. Timing to return to specific types of exercise will vary from one patient to another. Best to check with your plastic surgeon for specific advice. Generally, I suggest patients gradually ease back into the strenuous aerobic exercise 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively, assuming that they are doing well and there have been no complications. Lower body exercise can generally be resumed 2 weeks postoperatively. Use common sense, listen to your body, and gradually resume previous activity. In my practice, I ask patients to avoid contact and strenuous exercise involving the pectoralis major muscles ( such as push-ups, bench press, burpees, dancing on a pole…) for at least 3-6 months.
