I work out everyday and am getting breast implants ASAP. I know it will be hard to run or do the elliptical, but can I do stationary bike at the gym, since it only involes moving the legs? I heard getting the blood rushing isn't good for healing but I need to stick to my routine and cannot possibly take the 3 weeks off from working out that they say you must do to heal right. Any advice?

Answer: Listen to your body Generally, I recommend at least 4 weeks of minimal or decreased physical activity. While minimizing chest exercises is the most important, decreasing high impact activities is also key. As you heal during the first few weeks your body will begin to let you know what's safe and what is not. Its important to go slow and work up to any activities. You made an investment in your body, be patient and work with it to achieve your best results.

Answer: Exercise after breast augmentation. I generally recommend no exercise for 4 weeks after surgery. We recommend this for both a healing and bleeding standpoint. Exercise or anything that increases you heart rate can increase the risk of bleeding.

Answer: Exercise after Augmentation Hello! You pretty much hit the nail on the head! Walking is great immediately after surgery. You want to avoid upper body strenuous activity for 3-4 weeks. You can get on a stationary bike within weeks of surgery. You do need to clear activity with your surgeon. Best of luck to you!
