Hey there! I used to feel so self-conscious. Before having my kids, I was a small B cup, which was fine. But breastfeeding three babies really changed things. My breasts became saggy and deflated, and honestly, I hated how they looked. Looking in the mirror was a daily struggle, and it brought me to tears more times than I’d like to admit. Deciding to get a breast augmentation was truly the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Now, I absolutely love my boobies! They’ve given me so much confidence, especially when I’m dancing. And speaking of dancing, I’m thrilled to share my experience getting back into pole dancing after my surgery. If you’re dreaming of confidently dancing with big boobies, especially after augmentation, you’re in the right place!
My Breast Augmentation and Body Confidence Boost
From Feeling Flat to Fabulous: Why Breast Augmentation Was My Choice
Like I mentioned, breastfeeding took a toll on my body image. I went from feeling okay with my breasts to feeling really unhappy. It wasn’t just about size; it was about how they looked and how I felt about myself. I wanted to feel good in my clothes and, more importantly, feel good about myself when I looked in the mirror. Breast augmentation felt like the right step to reclaim my body and my confidence. And let me tell you, seeing the results and finally having the big boobies I dreamed of was incredibly empowering.
Embracing My New Curves: Confidence on and off the Pole
The change wasn’t just physical; it was emotional too. Suddenly, I felt more comfortable in my own skin. This newfound confidence spilled over into all aspects of my life, including my passion for pole dancing. Having big boobies has made me feel more feminine and sensual when I dance. It’s not just about the aesthetics; it’s about how I carry myself and the energy I bring to my performances. I feel more confident, more expressive, and simply more me when I’m dancing now.
Returning to Pole Dancing After Breast Augmentation: A Gradual Approach
Doctor’s Orders and Patience are Key
Of course, safety was my top priority when considering returning to pole dancing. I knew I couldn’t just jump back in right away. I waited about four months post-op before easing back into pole. My doctor gave me the green light to start slowly around the three-month mark, focusing on gentle movements, floorwork, and light spins. I decided to wait an extra month just to be sure. During my recovery, I focused on walking, stretching, and floorwork, and even just dancing around the pole in a non-strenuous way – body rolls, sexy walks, and slides.
It’s absolutely crucial to have an open conversation with your doctor about pole dancing and your plans to return. Explain the physical demands of pole – the bodyweight lifting, inversions, and use of chest and arm muscles. This will help your doctor give you a realistic and safe timeline for your return.
Step-by-Step: Rebuilding Strength and Confidence on the Pole
My doctor provided a detailed recovery timeline that I followed meticulously. Here’s what he recommended:
- 6-8 Weeks Post-Op: Light cardio like treadmill walking, elliptical, stationary biking, or spin classes. Avoid high-impact activities like aerobics, Zumba, weightlifting, and running.
- 10-12 Weeks Post-Op: Light jogging (not full running) with a high-impact sports bra. Start slow and gradually increase distance. If you usually run 3 miles, start with just 1 mile for a couple of weeks.
- Around 12 Weeks: Return to Zumba or aerobics with a supportive high-impact sports bra.
- 12-14 Weeks: Begin light weightlifting, starting with very light weights (like 5-pound dumbbells) and gradually working your way back to machines, if your doctor approves at your 6-month check-up. It’s vital to avoid heavy lifting before the 6-month mark to allow your breasts to fully heal and settle.
- 4-5 Months: My doctor gave me the okay to start incorporating inversions and more intermediate pole moves again.
Maintaining Implant Health for Long-Term Dancing Joy
The Doctor’s Regimen: Vitamins, Massage, and Consistent Care
I’ve been pole dancing for two years since my augmentation, and my big boobies are still soft and perky! I truly believe this is thanks to the care regimen my doctor recommended. He advised daily vitamin E for a year post-op (and I still take it a few times a week). He also prescribed homeopathic pellets to help prevent scar tissue and hardening, which I took for six months and still use occasionally. Crucially, he emphasized daily massage, multiple times a day, for life, to keep implants soft and natural-looking. I religiously follow this massage routine.
Balancing Passion and Precaution: Listening to Your Body
I’ve noticed that some of my pole dancing friends who train intensely daily (especially exotic dancers who pole 6-7 days a week) seem to experience more issues with implant hardening or tightness. To avoid this, I stick to poling 2-3 times a week. This balance seems to be working well for maintaining both my implant health and my enjoyment of pole dancing with my big boobies.
Final Thoughts: Embrace Your Journey and Listen to Your Doctor
The most important advice I can give is to listen to your doctor’s instructions to the letter. Everyone’s body heals differently, so personalized medical advice is paramount. Getting breast augmentation was an incredible step for my self-confidence and how I feel when I dance. Now, confidently dancing with my big boobies brings me so much joy. Good luck with your journey, and I hope my experience helps you feel more informed and empowered! Keep us updated on your progress! 🙂
