I am a 41yr old female who had BR surgery 1 month ago. No complications, healthy & average BMI. Due to a miscommunication, I was back at work the next day (good toleration, no pain meds) & continued to work. Very active single parent with young kids & no support network. What damage can I cause to the newly forming/healing breasts by being over active, especially if I feel good? My plastic surgeon is great & I've asked these questions, but he doesn't understand me taking Zumba classes for 2 was
At four weeks post breast reduction it should be safe to begin exercise. I usually counsel my patients not to do any strenuous activity for the first three to four weeks after breast reduction. In the first few weeks after the surgery remember, if you are doing something that is causing your heart to race or causing you to sweat, your blood pressure is elevated and this could result in bruising or bleeding which could compromise the results of your surgery. Be careful!
pregnant women get their breast bigger.. if i get my breast reduction then i get pregnant.. will my breast grow back bigger again then have to do reduction again? is that safe to do breast feeding the baby?
It is possible to have a breast reduction prior to pregnancy and in most cases one can still breast feed after a breast reduction, as long as the nipples were kept attached to the breast gland and ducts at the time of the surgery. The quality of the breast milk will not be affected by having had a breast reduction. It is true that breasts do enlarge with pregnancy and lactation. After pregnancy and completing breast feeding breasts usually will once again get smaller (involute). The final size after breast feeding may be larger, the same size, or smaller than the breasts were prior to pregnancy. Breast can also enlarge with weight gain even after a brast reduction. It is possible to perform a repeat breast reduction later in life if the breast once again become large or pendulous.
