5 Wks Post Op BA...is It Ok to Go on Roller Coasters Yet?

Question

I am 5 wks post op. Is it ok to go on roller coasters yet? I had 300cc's submuscular silicone implants placed through my areolas. I have not had any complications. My incisions have already healed and scarred. My PS's office is closed on wkends and I don't want to call the emergent number for a question like this. Any advice would be appreciated =) Thanks!

It would probably be safer for you not to ride on any roller coasters as they can be quite bumpy and bash you around. I would recommend waiting until the 6 week mark, or better yet, after two months.

After 5 weeks, I would still be cautious however it should be alright for you to go on a rollercoaster at this point. Please make sure to wear a supportive bra and make sure there are is not too much direct pressure.

First of all this question should be answered by your surgeon. In my practice patients that are doing well are permitted full activity after four weeks. The roller coaster issues never come up but I think it might have to do with the type of ride the device delivers and what sort of pressure would be levied on the chest. Why risk it?

Angela Champion, MD · Answer

Yes! You can typically go back to most of your regular activity after 4 weeks, but everyone is different.  I recommend confirming with your plastic surgeon before doing anything. have fun! ac

At 5 weeks you should be Ok, but you should check with your surgeon to make sure everything is OK.
