We are building a house and my concern is whether I will be able to help install tile, flooring, etc. I workout currently, obviously will have down time and won't push it, but need to know if 6 weeks post-op I'll be able to help lift some stuff, install stuff, paint, etc. What are people typically lifting at this point? I know everyone is different, but on average.
Answer: Surgery Most ladies are close to full activities by this time. With especially heavy lifting, you may be restricted for 2 more weeks.

Answer: On average, my patients are good to go at 6 weeks; check with your surgeon's protocol At that point, it's just listening to their bodies for what is comfortable.

Answer: Breast Augmentation with Mastopexy Recovery Time Hello, for my patients I do not restrict activity after six weeks post op. At that point, the healing has plateaued in most patients, and I allow them to resume all activities that they could have performed preoperatively.

Answer: Post op recovery You must clear this with your surgeon,however, I allow my patients to return to the gym slowly starting at 4 weeks. If you are doing heavier labor, I feel 6 weeks Is adequate. I would suggest both wearing a sports bra and using silicone tape to help support and protect the breasts and incisions.
