What is the absolute soonest I would be able to run after my breast reduction surgery?

Hi. I would recommend 4 weeks. This will vary with each surgeon that you speak with. There are no set rules. Good luck

Thank you for your question.With good support you should be able to run 3-4 weeks after breast reduction.

To be sure, see two or more experienced,
board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are
a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

This answer will depend on how well and fast you heal, and only your PS can determine that after your surgery. Typically, I would not recommend running, or heavy weight lifting for at least 4 weeks. But again, this question is best addressed with you surgeon after surgery. With good breast support at 2 weeks- you should be able to maintain your conditioning on a treadmill. Hope this helps

This is a trimely question since I recently did a breast reduction on a runner who decided to begin running about 3 weeks post op.She came in the next day with active bleeding and a hematoma or blood collection that required a return to the OR so now I say 4 weeks minimum.

Every plastic surgeon has their own guidelines and specifications regarding their postoperative instructions, including when it is acceptable to return to certain activities.  A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will help to determine when it would be ok for you to run after surgery, as it also depends on your rate of healing.  Best wishes.
