When can I start doing yoga after breast implants?

Dear jenlm, We generally have our patients begin light exercise at 2 weeks and build from there. However, yoga and pectoralis specific muscle exercises(push-ups, bench press, butterflies, etc) can effect the placement of the implant if started too soon. I suggest waiting at least 3-6 months and sometimes longer. This depends on the amount and strength of pectoralis muscle each patient has and also how much of the fibers I had to transect during surgery. Going slow will never harm you and you should ultimately ask your surgeon. Good luck. Dr. G.

Thanks for the question. After 6-8 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Yoga can be quite vigorous, so you may need to wait 6 weeks after surgery. However, you should check with your surgeon.
