I'm a professional dancer and do shows for work, this includes samba dancing and partner work aswell (salsa dancing). I'm already 5 weeks post op and I feel great with no complications but I want to know if I can return back to dancing or if I should wait longer... If so, I'm sooo looking forward to getting back :)

Answer: How soon can I start dancing after breast augmentation under the muscle? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure; I am glad that you have been complication free. Timing to return to specific types of exercise/activity will vary from one patient to another. Best to check with your plastic surgeon for specific advice. Remember, that he/she knows exactly what procedure was performed, how you are progressing, and is also responsible for your care.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. Best wishes.

Answer: Dancing After Breast Augmentation Most plastic surgeons will recommend that you wait at least eight weeks before resuming any intense physical activity or heavy lifting, especially if it involves use of the pectoral muscle. You may be able to resume dancing before that eight week point depending on how much stress the activity puts on the chest and arms. I would encourage you to be patient and take time to heal, and definitely wait until your plastic surgeon gives you the go-ahead before resuming dancing or other physical activity.
