Wondering if the stair climber is okay to do 2 weeks after surgery since there is no bouncing motion. Also, is walking on incline considered "strenuous" or is this okay?

Answer: Keep heart rate low. I cannot answer this question which should be addressed to your plastic surgeon instead. In my patients, I would say NO - stair climber is too aggressive and will likely elevate your hear rate and blood pressure which might increase the risks of postoperative bleeding. Speak with your surgeon or look over your postoperative instructions to see what is appropriate. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO :)

Answer: Is the stair climber okay to do 2 weeks after breast augmentation? Or walking on incline? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to timing to return to all types of activities. Generally, I suggest patients gradually ease back into the strenuous aerobic exercise 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively, assuming that they are doing well and there have been no complications. Lower body exercise can generally be resumed 2 weeks postoperatively. Use common sense, listen to your body, and gradually resume previous activity. In my practice, I ask patients to avoid contact and strenuous exercise involving the pectoralis major muscles ( such as push-ups, bench press, burpees, dancing on a pole…) for at least 3-6 months. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with long-term.
