I'm looking to have my surgery done May 2nd but I have a cruise scheduled and I will be departing May 29th. Will I be able to submerge in water by then? And will I have enough strength to swim or will that be too painful? I'm worried that this is not a realistic time line

Answer: Swimming and bathing after breast enlargement Dear Pharmer 19,Thank you for the question. I advise patients that they can shower the day after surgery. But, I suggest waiting until the wounds have healed fully before swimming or bathing - usually after two week or so. Good Luck!

Answer: How long after BA until I can submerge in water. Thank you for your question. Assuming an uncomplicated recovery, many patients can submerge their incisions 2-3 weeks after surgery. You will likely still have some discomfort with motion of your chest muscles and arms and should refrain from any strenuous swimming or similar activities. Talk to your surgeon about your plans, they can best help you determine if the timeframe is realistic for your expectations.
