I am six weeks post-op and used to do push-ups regularly. I love the definition in my arms from them. I have been cleared for exercise, but tried a push-up today. I had the strength, and felt fine on my way down. However, on my way up, it felt like the implants were moving out to my sides in a very strange way, also I felt pain in my nipples. Yikes! I was soo disappointed! Now, I'm afraid to try again in the future! Will there be a time when I could try again and this won't happen?
Answer: Push ups 6 weeks after Mommy Makeover with Breast Augmentation
Of course speak to your doctor for advice.
6 weeks is usually adequate time following Mommy Makeover with Breast Augmentation to begin strenuous exercise such as sit ups and push ups.
However since you are feeling discomfort it is best to slow down-perhaps try half body push ups on your knees until the discomfort goes away which it likely will.
Most likely your Breast Implants were placed beneath the Pectoralis Muscle which is contracted during a push up. This muscle contraction will push the implants to the side and may press on the Nerve to the Nipple which causes your discomfort.
In time this pain will subside, but you will need to become comfortable with the displacement of your implants during contraction of the Pectoralis Muscle.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Healing and Activity Following a Mommy Makeover The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. Healing after a #tummytuck will require time. Some patients are out of bed and walking the night of surgery and every hour while awake. I allow my patients to return to work at one to two weeks with 14 days preferred. However, no lifting or straining. At three weeks, increased level of activity and full with no restrictions, at 6 weeks. #MummyTummy is a term given to modified tummy tucks which can use liposuction and skin tightening with radiofrequency such Vanquish, Vela3, thermage, thermiRF and others. The actual fat contouring can be done non-surgically as well with #UltraShape or Cool-Sculpting.As I advise my patients, if your work keeps you sedentary, you may return whenever you feel up to it. If your work is strenuous, wait until your work activity does not cause any superficial pain. Some employers will modify a person’s job duties so they can back sooner, but without physical activity. Our office can provide our patients with a note stating they are not to engage in strenuous activity for a specified period of time. The note will not disclose what procedure they have underwent. Therefore, you may have to request a similar note from your surgeon if you are not independently employed. I recommend avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous #activity for six weeks following your surgery. With that said, it may help you plan your return to work accordingly. As for heavy lifting and other #strenuous #activities, it should be avoided for until you have clearance from your surgeon. You may, however, do normal activities at any time if they cause no pain or #discomfort. Let your body tell you what you can or cannot do. 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!! If you have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined.

Answer: #ExerciseAndMoreAfterMommyMakeover Let your body be your guide at this point and work up to hard exercises. Your plastic surgeon will give you the best answer in your specific case. For most of my patients I allow sex to begin at 6 weeks with the woman on top to minimize the risk of trauma. Here are some fo the guidelines I give my patients: Following surgery, you will be walking in a bent-over position to keep tension off the newly tightened skin incision site. Although strenuous activity, and lifting more than ten pounds, must be avoided for 6 weeks, some people can return to work and daily activities as soon as 2 weeks after surgery. Softening of the surgical scars, return of sensation, and loosening of the tight sensation may take several months to a year or more. Abdominoplasty involves a recovery period of 10 to 14 days longer than most plastic surgical procedures. Initial discomfort and decreased mobility is typical. To decrease this discomfort, we offer a long acting local anesthetic. This numbing injection solution (Exparel) which lasts for 3-4 days allows for an easier recovery and is preferable to older pain pump technology. 3-5 days or more of assistance at home is usually indicated. We can arrange for a nurse to stay with you if helpful.You will be encouraged to move and walk regularly starting the day of surgery. Wearing your TED stockings at all times, except while washing, to prevent venous clots (deep vein thrombosis) is mandatory.Light activity is comfortable in 10-20 days. No sports or heavy lifting for 6 weeks or more – please discuss with your doctor for specific questions.

Answer: Pushups after Mommy Make Over with breast augmentation? Reintroducing heavy upper body exercise after abstaining for 6 weeks needs to be done gradually. With the placement of your breast implants your anatomy and muscle orientation has been altered. It will take you a while to readapt and ultimately be comfortable doing your pushups. It's important to take it slow and exercise within the confines of your tolerance. Eventually you should get back to the degree of exercising you were experiencing in the past. Good luck

Answer: Cleared for workouts doesn't mean you'll feel great... The mommy makeover procedure is a BIG surgery and definitely takes a lot of time to completely recuperate from.Just because you are cleared for exercise at 6 weeks doesn’t mean that you will be good at it yet!! Patients frequently get frustrated when they realize how much endurance and strength they have lost during the downtime after a surgery.You simply need to have patience and very gradually work back up to your usual routines.In particular after a breast augmentation the chest wall muscles take time to stretch and get used to the new “bulk” under them.Be assured however that eventually the muscles will stretch, the pain will subside, and you will be back to doing your pushups, loving your arms, and also loving the look and feel of your new breast and body.Take it a day at a time, and let us know how you are feeling in another 2-3 months!

Answer: Discomfort during pushups after mommy makeover Six weeks after surgery, your body has generally healed to the extent that regular exercise can be resumed but it will take months for your body to return completely to normal. Most symptoms resolve over time but if they persist, discuss your concerns with your PS at your next follow-up appointment.
