I had breast implants done may 8th and will be competing in Warrior dash(mud run)on July 20th,is this too soon?
Answer: Mud Run 10 weeks after breast augmentation
If all has gone well, I release my patients to "BEGIN to resume all normal activities" at 6 weeks post-op. So theoretically if all has gone well with your recovery you could do that. You will not be fully conditioned within a month, so don't stress the system. Best of luck to you. James E. Chappell, MD, FACS, Annapolis Maryland

CONTACT NOW Answer: Mud run after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. You definitely want to follow your own surgeon's post-op activity instructions. This is a general guide I give to my patients: 1) No heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 6 weeks. 2) Resume walking at a leisurely pace right after surgery (e.g. 2 mph) 3) At 2 weeks, you can walk 2 miles at 2mph 4) At 3 weeks, you can walk 3 miles at 3mph 5) At 4 weeks, you can walk 4 miles at 4mph 6) At 5 weeks, you can jog 5 miles at 5mph 7) At 6 weeks, you can resume all activities, but listen to your body and use discomfort or tightness as a guide so you don't over do it.If you feel good 2.5 months after your surgery and are pretty active, you should be ok for the mud run. I would build up to it and listen to your body and also check with your plastic surgeon prior to the run.

Answer: Mud run probably okay eight weeks after breast augmentation.
The decision to release you to this activity resides in the hands of your surgeon. In my practice patients who are doing well a four weeks are permitted to return to full athletic activity.

Answer: Strenuous activity 10 weeks after breast augmentation?
Always listen to your body, and don't overdo!
I strongly recommend you check with your Plastic Surgeon and follow their advice. I typically tell my patients to resume full activity at 6 weeks if their post-op course has been uneventful. I always caution them to ease into it.
Again, be careful and listen to your body!
Best of luck,
Jennifer Harrington MD

Answer: Mud Run after Breast Augmentation?
You may be calling it a little close when it comes to your planning. The activity you are describing is obviously quite strenuous and may involve crawling… Ultimately, your body will tell you if you are ready to proceed with this type of activity or not; your plastic surgeon will also be your best resource given that he knows you, exactly what you are planning, and is ultimately responsible for their care.
My general rule ( when it comes to postoperative activity resumption): if in doubt, don't do it. Having said that, most patients would likely feel comfortable ( possibly at a slower pace) proceeding, given your time frame.
Best wishes.
