I'm 6 weeks post-op of my breast augmentation. Been wearing sports bras since week 2 and I haven't done any sort of exercise apart from walking. I'm afraid that I might be starting too early and compromise my healing process? Been doing massages on my breasts since week 3 and sometimes the sides of my breasts hurt briefly during the day and I'm wondering if that's normal because it concerns me. To be honest, I want them to be bigger but for now, my priority is for them to heal :)

Answer: Exercise Thanks for your inquiry, please ask your surgeon for permission, but in general terms you should be able to ramp up exercise at six weeks. Let your body guide you as you return to activity and remember you may have some deconditioning, good luck.

Answer: Post Op Recovery and Exercising Hi thesexybaker, Downtime and recovery after breast augmentation surgery varies. The majority of breast augmentation patients need one week of downtime. Depending on the work environment (heavy lifting, etc) more time off may be necessary. Patients are encouraged to walk immediately after surgery to avoid blood clots in the legs. When it comes to exercising, it may also vary depending on the type of exercises you are going to perform. I suggest that you follow your plastic surgeon’s post-operative instructions, especially on the level of activity that you can do and your scheduled follow up checkups, for faster and recovery.
