I have saline implants for about 13years now 460cc on right 445cc left, my left breast pocket has shifted into my armpit. This has made me decide its time to replace, so I will being going from saline to smaller 375cc mentor silicone moderate implant having my pockets sutured at the same time. I love my yoga, once I give it the recovery time needed, will I be ok to still do my Yoga stretches without tearing my pockets again? Is 5 weeks recovery enough? Thank You
Answer: How long does a Revision Last? Consult with your surgeon about the types of activities that are acceptable post-surgery. It is important that you not engage in strenuous activities in the first three (2-3) weeks after surgery. My own personal recommendations to my patients are start walking as much as you want to, as soon as you want to. Then progress as desired tohigh-reps, low-resistance exercises. Slowly progress for6 weeks, after which time there are no restrictions. I advise my patients torefrain from strenuous physical activitysuch as heavy lifting with your arms or jogging for 6 weeks. Aerobic exercise will raise your blood pressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!! It is important that you follow your doctor's instructions so that you get the best aesthetic results.#breastrevision #breastimplants

Answer: Breast augmentation revision
It sounds like you will benefit from closing off the space of the breast implant pocket (lateral capsulorrhaphy) on the left side. You are correct in understanding and limiting strenuous activity involving the left arm for at least 2 to 3 months is in your best interest. Hopefully you can modify your exercise program to avoid recurrence of the implant malposition problem.
It is also important to select a well experienced plastic surgeon who can demonstrate his/her successful surgical results for patients in your situation.
Best wishes.

Answer: How Long Does a Pocket Revision Last if You Are Athletic?
Yes. 5 weeks should be enough recovery but there are NEVER any guarantees. Best to discuss in detail with your chosen surgeon in an informed consent session.

Answer: Breast Implant Revisions for the Athlete
Women with breast implants tend to take good care of their bodies and have a high level of fitness. Your concern about being able to return to vigorous activity without jeopardizing the result is appropriate. There are several surgical approaches to revising your pocket to prevent displacement into the armpit. Closing off the excess space in the upper chest might include excision of the capsule to minimize chance of reopening, The closure could be reinforced with sutures or with a material such as Stratice or Alloderm, as Dr. Baxter suggested. It might be valuable to release the pectoral muscle in the lower inner quadrant of te dual plane pocket to keep it from powerfully displacing the implant. Post operatively I would recommend no excercise that uses the pectoralis for six weeks and use of an implant stabilization band .
