Can I use a seated stationary bike 6 days post breast augmentation?

don't do anything that will get your blood pressure up.  I don't like people to exercise for 2-3 weeks.   a delayed hematoma is very painful and would require another surgery to correct.

Thank you for your question. I suggest you wait at least 3 weeks before running or exercise. It's best to be sure that everything is healed. There is always a chance of causing bleeding if you start much before that time. When you start, listen to your body. You will be a little out of condition and a bit sore. But you will get back to where you were before surgery very quickly.Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your surgery!  In my practice I do not allow patients to perform any activity for the first two weeks after surgery.  This is done to minimize the possibility of bleeding through an increased heart rate and blood pressure from exercise.  I would recommend reaching out to your surgeon's office for definite recommendations, however, as they know the full details of your procedure.  Hope this helps.

If you were my patient, the answer would be no.  I don't allow my patients to do any vigorous exercise for 3 weeks following the procedure.  Resuming activity too soon and getting your heart rate up can lead to complications that may require another trip to the operating room.  Whatever your plastic surgeon has recommended, you should listen to.  Good luck!

You should not do any activities that increase your blood pressure for at least three weeks after surgery. I also restrict exercise of the chest muscles for 4-6 weeks after surgery. The time will pass quickly. Good luck. 

I do not allow my patients to start exercise even lightly until about 3-4 weeks after surgery.  Best to ask your surgeon.

I suspect your plastic surgeon has been pretty clear about their recommendations for post op activity which is why you are on the internet looking for a different opinion. No matter what you find here, listen to your surgeon!  I restrict my patients for two weeks with nothing to increase heart rate or blood pressure.  If you have even a minor bleed early it can compromise your final result with a capsular contracture.  I know 2 or 3 weeks seems like an eternity but it will pass. Follow your doctors instructions. No matter how well you heal, your body can only replicate cells and proceed through the phases of inflammation at a set rate.  Listen to your doctor. 

Your PS would be the best one to answer this question for you.  I tell my patients to avoid exercise for 3 weeks after augmentation.  The reason for that is because when you exercise, your blood pressure rises.  If you BP rises, then you are at increased risk for post-op bleeding into the breasts which could result in a second operation to drain the blood and stop the bleeding.  I tell my patients that walking at normal speed is OK after surgery, but it sounds like you want to exercise.  

You are at significant risk of a bleeding episode so soon after surgery.  Wait three weeks and go slow.  If you feel any chest pain, stop, wait a week and try again.  Listen to your body and do not ignore this pain, it means you are potentially stressing the surgical area too soon.  Be patient, you will be back on the bike soon!

Thank you for your question.  While I complete understand you feeling a bit stir crazy after taking it easy for almost a week, I have to encourage you to give it a bit more time before you start back to exercising. I advise my patients to wait at least three weeks before getting their heart rates up.  It's very important you follow the post op instructions given by your surgeon because they really do have your best recovery in mind.  Good luck to you!
