My PS said to plan on a week to 2 weeks to have someone home helping me w/my toddler. But There has been no mention about the first few days after surgery on how limited my mobility will be for my arms for me to be able to go to the bathroom, brush my hair, or brush my teeth. I’d like to know how many days I could be immobile to do my daily living activities such as these? What about rapid recovery by moving my arms up & down to speed up healing?

Answer: Movement after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Although post operative instructions do vary from one plastic surgeon to another, my advice is to refrain from lifting anything greater than 15 pounds for a full 4 weeks after breast augmentation. Movements that include routines of daily living do not need to be avoided. Best of luck.

Answer: Activities allowed after Breast Augmentation surgery Breast Augmentation surgery can be a little limiting in activities that require the use of your arms. Patients are wrapped with guaze and ace wraps around their chest. The arms are free to move and most patient are able to brush their teeth, brush hair and use the bathroom on their own. I encourage patients to use their arms as soon as possible but not to lift anything heavier than 10 pounds. Good luck.
