Will i have full use of my arms after breast implant surgery?

I usually tell my patients to limit arm use for the first week, then slowly increase upper arms use into the second week.Make sure you discuss with a Double-Board Certified, Double Fellowship Trained Plastic Surgeon.

Post operative instructions vary among surgeons. I recommend no heavy lifting for 6 weeks post op and no stretching or lifting arms above your shoulders for two weeks. Regards, 

Hello,I typically advise my BA patients to do only gentle, slow arm movements for the first few days after surgery. in addition, I advise no heavy lifting or strenuous upper body exercise for 6 weeks. Each Plastic Surgeon has their own preferred post op protocols so I recommend that you ask your Plasti  Surgeon to advise you.All the best 

Recovery after a breast augmentation can be very straight forward with the right surgeon. Precise technique with minimal trauma leads to little pain after surgery, with many of our patients going out for dinner the same night as surgery. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. I have patients wear a soft bra after breast augmentation for a few weeks to splint everything, and at that point the scars are generally very stable and we move to normal bras (or none) and long term scar management. Most important is a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon regarding this procedure. Don’t settle for less!

Thank you for your question. For the first two to three weeks after surgery do not lift anything heavier than 10 pounds. No working out or strenuous activities.
