When can you start doing cardio leg workouts that do not involve arms after areola reduction and small reduction to breast with a vertical scar, I want to use protein shake and collagen when is this ok to do. Thank you I'm one week post op With no pain
Answer: Protein shakes and exercising following lollipop lift and areola reduction As long as you are not lifting anything heavier than 5 lbs or doing anything strenuous during the early postoperative period you are unlikely to do any damage. Consume 100 g of protein each day with your shakes and collagen.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Exercise after Breast Lift I allow the gradual resumption of light exercise as tolerated 3-4 weeks after these types of procedures, provided the patient is healing normally. I would ask your surgeon to confirm.

Answer: Breast lift surgery Congratulations on your recent breast lift surgery! The surgery is designed to restore the ideal shape and projection of your breasts. In addition, many patients also require restoration of volume of the breasts: either with breast implants or fat transfers.Since our bodies heal via proteins as building blocks for new tissue, increasing your daily protein intake after surgery may enhance your healing. Exercise can be resumed after the incisions and tissues stabilize. Your surgeon will advise you when this timing is appropriateGood luck with the rest of your recovery!

Answer: Resuming exercise and diet thank you for your question. This is a question best answered by your operative plastic surgeon. Many of us have different protocols for our postoperative return to physical activity. In general most plastic surgeons allow their patients to resume heavy physical activity between 4 and 6 weeks. Resuming your protein shakes should not affect your recovery at all. Again this is a question best answered by the plastic surgeon who performed your procedures as they know you best. Best of luck.
