Breast Augmentation Surgery and Diving

While the amount of Plastic Surgery performed has significantly increased past couple of years, we as a diver still ask this ultimate question, " what would happen if we descend??"

Scar tissues may absorb more nitrogen during the dive, or your body may not be ready to perform skills underwater safely. There still are little information available to us.

From your open water certification class, you must be aware of Boyle's Law. So... if I get a breast augmentation, does the volume of my implants change also??

Um... Good Question...

There are 2 articles sent to me via IM today, in regards to Plastic Surgery, but Breast Augmentation Surgery and Diving in particular. Links are below.

AS ALWAYS, YOU MUST SPEAK TO YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE YOU START ANY PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND THIS INCLUDES SCUBA DIVING. THIS BLOG ENTRY ONLY PROVIDES INFORMATION.


Safe Diving if you are diving this weekend!
