I'm worried I won't be able to do certain exercises like backbends and planks after surgery? (Photos)

Dear bpbushnell, thanks for sharing your concerns, that kind of implant techniques plus sizes are small enough to allow you practice physical exercise of course once your fully healed, it will take almost 30 days to start again your practices, Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

You will be able to do these exercises after surgery. However, tightening your pectoralis major muscle will result in extruding the implant inferiorly and laterally. I recommend the smallest implant possible to create less displacement. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years.

Best Wishes,
