Hi, im having Breast enlargement and lipo to my tummy and Hips, has any one on here had any cosmetic surgery and how long before you where back in the saddle?

My surgeon has said at least a few weeks but I dont want to leave my boy in the field too long as he gets a bit naughty! lol

WEEEEKS i'm afraid. after boob job you won't want to do ANYTHING that involves them moving for weeks. :D
 
Haven't had mine done, but my friend did and riding was about the last thing she got back to doing. All the bouncing I think!

Good luck, enjoy your new boobs! :D
 
The first week or two is agony. I would say it was about four or five before getting back in the saddle.
Invest in some decent sports bras and you will be just fine.
Be careful with leading/lungeing etc too as it swells and is sensitive right up into your armpits :)
 
Thanks for the replys, may have to ask a friend if they want to come and ride my mad beasty of a horse to keep him ticking over! lol
 
I was back hacking about 3 weeks after breast enlargement and then back in lessons 4 weeks after (doctor recommended waiting 4 weeks on lessons but said I could hack as soon as I felt up to it as pony was a veteran and totally bombproof) I did wait the 4 weeks before restarting lessons, and fell off 6 weeks after the surgery! Whoops. It was grand though. I did wear a sports bra, but you have to do that anyway for the first few months.
 
Well , I had a facelift 15 months ago and was out of the saddle eight weeks minimum. All the bouncing about would be very bad for the stitches and pull the tissues downwards.
I had to wear a support garment fot a month too. I would adhere strictly to your surgeons advice it would be awful to undo all the good work. I got a super result from taking the upmost care.
