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: Stairclimber after augmentation I encourage my patients to resume physical activity fairly soon after augmentation. After three days they are walking and driving. After one week, i encourage them to use a treadmill, stairstepper, or bicycle. Jogging with a good supportive bra is also ok. I limit upper body activities for a month, at which time i allow my patients to resume full activity. Surgeons have different guidlines , though, and i encourage you to follow your surgeons instructions for the best outcome.

Answer: Is the stair climber okay to do 2 weeks after breast augmentation? Or walking on incline? Thank you for sharing your question. Though each surgeon has their own protocol for patients returning to physical activity, I limit patients to no exercise for the first two weeks because of the risk of bleeding and swelling. After this two weeks I allow patients to resume light walking on a treadmill slowly increasing duration or intensity on a weekly basis. Talk to your surgeon as they know the full details of your procedure and health history. Best wishes.

Answer: Exercise I would wait a total of 4 weeks after surgery to undergo any rigorous exercise because although rare you can have bleeding issues in the first several weeks.

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.
