I am currently 2 weeks and 1 day post-op and feel GREAT! I've picked up my guitar sitting down and it doesn't hurt at all to play. Playing the guitar is mostly wrist movements.
Answer: Postoperative Breast augmentation Hello fellow guitarist. You should be fine as long as you avoid any Eddie Van Halen stunts. Things to beware of are those activities that use your pec muscles and are repetitive in action (vacuuming, etc). Have a great time!

Answer: Guitar playing after breast augmentation Thank you for your question and congrats on the augmentation. I would say that playing guitar at this point in recovery is fine, especially if you feel fine. If you notice any additional swelling or discomfort with prolonged playing, then back off and rest for a few days and try again.

Answer: Guitar playing after breast augmentation Hello,Two weeks after breast augmentation surgery if you feel well and there is no pain with playing you should be fine to enjoy playing your guitar. Increasing pain generally is a good indicator that you're doing something too early. Just listen to your body and any recommendations your plastic surgeon has made, and you should be fine.Best of Luck!Dr. Rednam

Answer: How soon after a breast augmentation should I be able to resume guitar lessons + guitar playing? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Your plastic surgery will always be your best resource when it comes to returning to specific activities. Given that you are doing well, it is likely that you will be able to resume playing the guitar now. Enjoy the outcome of your surgery and the music!

Answer: Post op instructions Thank you for your question. As every surgeon has their own set of post operative instructions for their patients, the first person I would discuss this with is your surgeon. That being said, typically, if your recovery has been uneventful, patients find they are able to resume light, non-strenuous activities within the first week to two weeks after surgery. Activities such as chest presses or heavy lifting however, we prefer our patients to wait a least 4-6 weeks after surgery. Best regards,Dr. Lane F. Smith, MDPlastic SurgeonLas Vegas, NV
