When is It Safe to Do Gymnastics After Breast Augmentation?

Question

I had Breast augmentation on 02 09 12. Silicone/ under muscle/ 400CC/ scar around areola I do profesional gymnastic (Acrobatics) I just want to make sure when is it ok to go back After the surgery my doctor saw me every week and now i have to see him in 3 months. last time i saw him he told me that everything looked great and that i can go back to my regular life just to watchout in not lifting too much weight im scare that when im toss around or do pyramids i might get hit and ruined my surgery

Thank you for the question.

	Given that your plastic surgeon is ultimately responsible for your care, I think it would be best for you to run this question by him. Personally, I would have the same concerns that you do and postpone being &ldquo;tossed around&rdquo; for at least 3 months after surgery.

	Best wishes.

I would have asked you to wait 6 weeks for something that aggresive. I may be conservative and your surgeon depending on technique may have other criteria

Gregory A. Wiener, MD, FACS · Answer

Most patients return to work after one week. More strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. The only one who can give you the ok to return to physical activities is your surgeon. Follow the post-op instructions for a faster recovery and better results

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

For my patients I recommend for  most extreme activities, and that would include gymnastics,  that they wait a minimum of  6 weeks then start slow and progress your routine as tolerated.

David Bogue, MD · Answer

The only person who can answer this question for you is your plastic surgeon. A quick phone call should suffice. In my practice, for extreme situations (and I would say you fall into this category) waiting 3 months before resumption of full activity is warranted.
