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. The level of activity depends on your healing and also how extensive was your breast revision surgery.  In general, I prefer my patient restain from exercises or strenuous activities 6-8 weeks after surgery.  Discuss your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon and go over his recommendations.  Best Wishes

If you had your pockets sutured ("plicated") to make them smaller, my preference is for patients to really take it easy with physical activity until they are well healed.  This would include jumping and vigorous dancing.You don't want to mess up those sutures, or make them pull-through the tissue.I make my patients wait 2 months before resuming upper body exercises or things that involved bouncing - e.g. running, gymnastics, dancing, horseback riding....

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

The amount of activity after a breast augmentation is determined by how well you are healing.  I prefer that my patients wait 3-4 wks for light aerobics and 6-8 weeks for heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. Best to ask your surgeon.
