Bikram Yoga (hot yoga) post breast lift?

Question

Hi there, I see many exercise related questions on here for after breast lift or reduction surgery. My question is for doctors who really know Bikram yoga: how long post breast lift do I need to wait to resume? I go daily for 90 minutes, so I will be missing it a lot! My biggest concern is the scarring, though from experience, my small scars disappear faster with the humidity in the classroom. Any suggestions? May I keep silicone sheets on during the activity?

Yannis Alexandrides, MD, FACS · Answer

I would say that you need to wait 6 weeks before doing bikram yoga as you do not want to put any unnecessary pressure on your breasts following your operation.

Thanks for the question. After 6-8 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing bikram yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Each surgeon has his or her own recommendations on when to resume post operative activity.  Commonly, you will be asked to refrain from strenous activity for 4 weeks (give or take) for this type of surgery.  Since each surgeon is different, I recommend you discuss this concern with your plastic surgeon to ensure optimal recovery.

Sacha Obaid, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I recommend my patients refrain from all exercise until 3 weeks post op. At this time they can resume light cardio activities. I recommend waiting a full 6 weeks for yoga, pilates or weights. As always, I recommend checking with your plastic surgeon for his/her specific recommendations.
