Post-Surgery Activity Guidelines: When Can You Return to High-Impact Sports?

After cosmetic surgery, it's crucial to prioritise your healing and consult your surgeon before resuming high-impact activities.

Here's a general timeline:

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training): Wait at least 6-8 weeks. Ensure you've been cleared by your surgeon. Start slow, listen to your body.

Horse Riding: Usually 6-8 weeks. Make sure you feel stable and have full mobility.

Rock Climbing: At least 8 weeks, especially if upper body was involved. Focus on grip strength and core stability.

Bungee Jumping/Sky Diving: Wait 3 months or more, depending on your recovery. These activities stress your body and require full healing.

Always consult your healthcare provider before returning to any high-impact lifestyle activities.
