Hi everyone! I used to feel so self-conscious with my small breasts, especially after breastfeeding three kids. They just weren’t the same, and looking in the mirror was really upsetting. Deciding to get a breast augmentation was truly the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. I am absolutely thrilled with my new breasts! I’m so excited to share my experience with you, especially if you’re also dreaming of confidently doing the Big Breast Dance and feeling amazing in your body.
I actually got back into pole dancing about four months after my surgery. My doctor gave me the go-ahead to start again slowly around three months post-op, focusing on dancing, floorwork, and some gentle spins. I decided to wait an extra month just to be safe. During my time off from pole, I stayed active with walking, stretching, floor exercises, and just moving around the pole in different ways – focusing on sexy walks, body rolls, pirouettes, and back slides. It was all about keeping the movement going without putting strain on my healing chest.
It’s really important to talk to your own doctor about returning to pole dancing. Make sure to explain exactly what pole dancing involves – lifting your body weight, inverting, and using your upper arms and chest muscles. This will help them give you a realistic timeline for when you can safely start poling again.
My doctor gave me very specific instructions, and I followed them closely. He said that at 6-8 weeks post-op, I could start going back to the gym for walking on the treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, or spin classes. However, aerobics, Zumba, weight lifting, and running/jogging were off-limits at this stage. Around 10-12 weeks, I could start jogging (not running) while wearing a high-impact sports bra, but he advised me to ease into it. If I normally ran 3 miles, he suggested starting with just 1 mile for a couple of weeks. Zumba and aerobics were okay around 12 weeks with a good high-impact sports bra. Weight lifting could be reintroduced around 12-14 weeks post-op, starting with very light weights like 5-pound dumbbells and gradually working back up to machines, as long as everything looked good at my 6-month check-up. My doctor stressed the importance of waiting until at least 6 months post-op before rushing back into heavy weight lifting to allow my breasts to fully heal and settle. Around 4-5 months post-op, he gave me the okay to start incorporating inverted and more intermediate pole moves again.
I’ve been pole dancing for two years now, and my breasts still feel wonderfully soft and perky. I believe a lot of this is due to the vitamin and care regimen my doctor put me on during my healing process. He recommended taking vitamin E for a year post-op (and I still take it 2-3 times a week). He also gave me homeopathic pellets to help prevent scar tissue and hardening, which I took for 6 months post-op and still take occasionally. Furthermore, my doctor is a strong believer in daily breast massage, a couple of times a day, for life, to maintain softness and a natural look. I’ve made this a consistent part of my routine.
I’ve noticed that some of my friends who are hardcore pole dancers (two close friends are exotic dancers and pole fanatics who work 6-7 days a week) and also have breast implants seem to experience more hardening and tightening issues. Because of this, I stick to poling 2-3 times a week to help prevent any complications with my breasts, and so far, it’s been working great. I’m able to enjoy my big breast dance sessions without worry.
The key takeaway is to follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. If you do, you should be absolutely fine. Good luck with your journey, and please keep us updated on your healing progress! I hope this helps other women who are excited to get back to dancing and feeling confident with their new bodies and ready for their own big breast dance moments!
