When can I scuba dive again after breast augmentation?

jacqueline · 11-12-2007, 04:52 AM

Hi there, I'm in the process of deciding if breast augmentation is for me and if so, how I should/could prepare for it. It has been a tedious journey going back and forth the decision, but this time I'm very determined I want them. I just have a few questions before I make the final call.

I'm a avid scuba diver, if I get my breast augmentation, how long before I can go diving again?

How about driving?

I have a one year old daughter, when will I be able to carry her again?

Thanks so much for your input, I'm really glad to have found this useful site.

Jacqueline,

Typically you can drive after about 3 days. As for scuba diving, I would recommend waiting about 3mo. Of course, always check with your surgeon first to make sure you have healed enough. Good luck.
