1 Month After Mastopexy with Implants I want to do a Detox and Start Working Out, Recommended?

Hello, A month ago,I had mastopexy with augmentation. I had general anestesia and for 3 weeks I took 2 types of painkillers and antibiotics (I also got the flu with bronchitis and I had to take some other medecines for some relief...). I stopped taking any medecine last week and withing the next couple of weeks I would like to start a detox program(as well as my daily gym workout) to be able to get rid of all the toxins I've accumulated. What type of detox program would you recommend?Thank you.

Detoxing and Working Out After Mastopexy with Implants

One should wait at least 3-4 weeks before significantly increasing your exercise program after augmentation/mastopexy. Consult with your breast surgeon before proceeding with a full exercise program.

Detox after mastopexy

Hi! Thank you for your question. You do not need a detox for the anesthesia, painkillers, and antibiotics. I agree with Dr. Minniti that most detox programs actually prohibit you from receiving the nutrients you need.

Detox from alcohol or other substances should be done... more

Detox after Breast Surgery?

Thank you for the question. I generally do not recommend a “detox” program; the medications that you have been using with clear from your system without intervention. I do recommend, that if you do choose to “detox”, that you do so under the guidance of a well-trained physician who specializes in this area. Best wishes.
