How long after a breast implants do I need to wait to start bowling again?

Your plastic surgeon should have given you post operative instructions during your consultation or prior to surgery. If not, you should schedule a follow up appointment to address your concerns. It generally takes 6-8 weeks of healing before one can be released to return to unrestricted activity. 

Thanks for your inquiry.  If you are well healed, eight weeks seems right, but make sure surgeon agrees that you are well healed.  

Thanks for your question! Ha! There must be some serious going on bowling down there in Temple (I'm in practice up in Lubbock). 

In my practice of doing thousands of implant surgeries, I would tell you that the high odds are that after 4-6 weeks you should be able to do any sort of activity, including going for 300! 



However, there are always setbacks that can delay this recovery timeline, and yes you should discuss this with your own board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck to you both in surgery & in the lanes!

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.

For my patients, I recommend no strenuous activity or heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks following surgery.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!
