I am a little over one month post-op for my breast reduction. I really enjoyed HIIT it style work out classes and hot yoga prior to my surgery. I have read that going back can range from 4-6 weeks up to 3 months depending on the type of workout? Any specific clarification for these types of classes would be helpful. Is it the intensity or the sweating? What is it I should be avoiding? I do have some super strong sports bras waiting to be used! Thanks!
