Hi, I'm on a very competitive college swim team, and have very large breasts (DD). I'm 5'6 and very tiny and muscular elsewhere. I was wondering if I were to get a breast reduction, how soon I could resume swimming (at an intense level) Thank you

Answer: Swimming After Breast Reduction?
Thank you for the question.
Assuming you do well after breast reduction surgery ( all incision lines heal without complications), it will likely be at least 6 to 8 weeks before you are swimming at an “intense level”. Please let me know if you set new personal records.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast reduction
Patients that undergo most plastic surgery procedures should avoid vigorous workout acitivities for at least 6-8 weeks. If wounds have not healed, then they shoudl wait a bit longer.
