Is it okay to go swimming after explant?

Question

I am having a breast implant removal on Wednesday and 3 weeks after I am going on holiday. Will it be ok to go swimming or would you advise against it? I am just having a simple removal, no capsule removal or lift. Thank you :)

Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to returning to specific activities after removal of breast implants. He/she will know exactly how you are progressing and whether or not you have experienced any complications. Generally speaking, given the relatively easy recovery after breast implant removal, patients are able to return to non-competitive swimming 3 weeks after surgery, assuming no  complications. Best wishes; hopefully you will be very pleased with the outcome of the procedure performed.
