I am scheduled for BA surgery in 2 weeks. I just found out that I will need hip labral repair surgery that will require approx 4 weeks of crutches. How long after BA can I safely use crutches?
Answer: Using Crutches Following Breast Augmentation You can utilize your arms appropriately with weight in 2 to 3 weeks after your breast augmentation. Most patients will have a little discomfort from the pectoralis motion and demands placed on it from crutches; but it would be unlikely that you would have any negative consequences from using crutches within a few weeks after your surgery. Because your breast augmentation is an elective situation, you may just go ahead and have your hip labral repair surgery and do your breast augmentation afterwards because you will be up and at ‘em after your breast augmentation in about one day but you will take a few weeks after your hip surgery to really be mobilized fully and feel the full vigor of recovery for some months requiring rehabilitation. That is something I would maturely discuss with you before you rushed into doing any surgery in my practice.

Answer: Using Crutches after BA I would talk to your PS and advise him or her of this development. It may be that he/she would recommend waiting for the BA until after your recovery from the hip operation.

The answer depends on a number of factors, including the approach used for your augmentation, the location of your implants, and your plastic surgeon's recommendation of course.

Answer: How long after BA can I safely use crutches? Thank you for the question. I would suggest that you run this question by your chosen plastic surgeon who is ultimately responsible for your care and you may have his/her very specific recommendations for you. In my practice, I would likely ask that you avoid the use of crutches for at least one month after breast augmentation surgery. Best wishes for successful hip and breast surgery.
