Aerial yoga after breast augmentation?

Your ability to do intense physical exercise, including aerial yoga and pole dancing, won’t be affected by your breast augmentation. You’ll be able to continue doing these activities after your surgery, as long as you’re adequately recovered. Usually, this can take about 6-8 weeks, or more. Your surgeon will be able to tell you when you can start again.

I typically say that strenuous activity like this would take 6 weeks before it is safe to do it, but you should be fine. I have had MMA fighters that had breast augmentation and they do fine, just I don't allow full contact like that until 3 months. Congratulations on your decision and good luck , but you will be fine, don't worry.

Hello, in general yes, you will be able to return to all of your activities at some point. Every surgeon is different with their recommended limitations. I typically hold off on aerobic activity for 3 weeks. From 3 weeks on I gradually increase the activity until around 6 weeks when patients are cleared for most activities. 

It is always best to discuss this with your surgeon but in almost all individuals, once the strength in healing has maximized, one can resume previous activities that utilize the chest muscles. In most individuals this can be around six weeks postoperatively. Your surgeon may have special instructions for you and allow you to resume either earlier or later than that. Discuss your concerns and he or she will make their recommendations.

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you will be healing following surgery.For my patients, I recommend no strenuous activity or heavy lifting for 6 -8 weeks following surgery.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.
