What happens to Breast Implants if I work out my pectoral muscles; ie, push ups? Are there different exercises I can do? Are pull ups ok?
Answer: Exercise 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 strenous 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 activties, but listen to your body and use discomfort or tightness as a guide so you don't over do it.

Answer: Chest Exercise After Breast Implants You want to wait until you are totally healed. With placement under the muscle, this may take 4 weeks or more. Keep in mind, everyone’s body is different. Listen to yours. If something doesn’t feel right, stop and give it a few more days. Do not push yourself to the point of discomfort. Also, be sure to follow whatever post-op care your doctor gave you, which includes the timing for exercise. I hope that answers your question on exercising after surgery. It’s great that you’re doing this research. I always say that the best patients are informed patients. You might also want to research your options for breast implants. Choosing the right implant is the number one concern among women considering breast augmentation. Did you know, there’s actually a way to select a implant shape, size, and profile that is perfect for you? A term that I use with my patients for the perfect implant is the “Pony Implant”. So what do I mean by “perfect”? Well, a Pony Implant has three qualities to it. First, the implant meets your beauty goals. For example, you want to your breasts to look fuller while still appearing natural. Second, when you chose your Pony Implant, you walk out of your consultation 100% confident that you’ve chosen the right shape and size for you. In other words, you won’t be second guessing your decision, and you won’t be afraid of having gone too big or too small. And third, after your procedure, you are thrilled with your results, and say, "I’m so happy. This is exactly what I wanted!" That’s the Pony Implant. And the great news is that there is a simple process to go about finding yours. This issue of selecting the right implant is so important when it comes to patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction that, again, I really encourage you to learn more about it. Thank you for reading and best of luck on your journey!

Answer: Exercising Chest Muscles after Breast Implants I tell my patients to wait at least 6 weeks before doing chest muscle exercises. I also recommend that they ease back into a chest work out to not push the implants higher. If you implants are under the chest muscle, you will see movement in the upward direction of the implant when you do chest exercises. This is completely normal and not harmful. If you implants are on top of the muscle, you will not see any movement of the implant when you exercise. You can basically do any exercises that you want after breast implant surgery. If you have pain, stop doing that exercise and see your surgeon for more advice.

Answer: Exercising and Weight Training after Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. Many women resume normal physical activity, including exercising and heavy lifting, four to six weeks following a breast augmentation procedure. I perform many breast augmentations on women who body build and weight train regularly, and I prefer to place the implants sub-pectorally to provide for the most natural look and feel. It may take several weeks from the time you can begin exercising after a breast augmentation to get back to the shape and strength that you had prior to surgery, but once you have healed and you have received doctor approval you should be ready to hit the gym.I always recommend that patients defer to their operating surgeon's specific post-operative protocols and advise, as they are most familiar with your specific case, so I would recommend scheduling a follow up with your surgeon to discuss your progress and any concerns that you might have.I hope you find this helpful.

Answer: Is It Safe to Exercise Chest Muscles After Breast Implants? Exercise after breast augmentation like cardio or chest exercises is something you should care about and need to know about.For the early period of recovery, that means two - three weeks post op, light exercise like walking outdoors is the best. I usually permit moderate exercise, if done with big caution after 4 weeks. Heavy exercise should be completely avoided for 8 weeks following a breast augmentation. I ask my patients to postpone all phisical activities at least until the pain and inflammation from surgery are fully resolved.Even after two months post op it is best to focus on lower body workouts. Any exercise that focuses on the chest, rotates the chest, or involves in working the pectorial muscles, as push-ups and weight training, should be avoided for at least 8 weeks, as they can significantly interfire with healing.I hope this helps, best of luck!
