When can I exercise after explant?

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 to high-reps, low-resistance exercises. Slowly progress for 6 weeks, after which time there are no restrictions. I advise my patients to refrain from strenuous physical activity such 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

Thank you for your question.  If the pectoralis muscle was inset after explanation, I would wait a minimum of 6-8  weeks to  allow for healing to participate in strenuous excercise. .  You can do minimal exercises after 3 weeks.  Follow the advise of your surgeon.  Best Wishes

Thank you for your question.  At 6 weeks most surgeons let patients return to all activities.  Full contact sports are another issue.  As you did not have a capsulectomy, it may take longer for that tissues to adhere, stabilize and to be able to withstand blunt trauma.  Discuss with your surgeon.
