Is it possible to resume heavy weight training after breasts have healed from breast implant surgery?

Waiting
6 weeks after breast augmentation is the general rule before vigorous exercise.
Discuss with your surgeon the wisdom of potentially going over the muscle
rather than under the muscle with the implants. I operate on a number of
bodybuilders and often times they will prefer this look so that the breast does
not twitch and raised with flexion of the pectoralis muscle.

Once everything has healed and the pocket around the implant is formed you can return to all a activities. I would usually suggest not to do pec training for 6-8 weeks to minimize the chance of implant malposition. 

Thank you for the question. I advise my patients to resume weight lifting after 6 weeks and to start gradually to build up the weight. Best of luck with your surgery. Dr. Khuth

after your breast augmentation you can resume weight training about 6 weeks post op. you will need to start slow and gradually build since your pectoralis major muscle will be weaken.

You should wait at least 8 weeks before you do any heavy weight chest exercises. This will allow for the implants to settle in their pocket and for a capsule to form around them. You also want to give time for the inflammation that results from surgery and healing to resolve completely before participating in heavy lifting. Deadlifts and squats should be ok. For sheet presses I would start for lighter weight and increase to your baseline with time. I advise against heavy weight chest presses if you decide to have shaped implants because they can rotate even after several months out. 

Good day and thanks for your query. Yes you'll be able to resume your favorite weight lifting exercises in about 6-8 weeks after successful surgery. You'll need to ease into your routine by starting with lighter weights and gradually work your way up. Good luck and be well. Dr. Burnett

I usually have my patients wait about 6-8 weeks before starting up heavy lifting after a breast augmentation. Best to ask your surgeon.

Thank you for your question. I ask my patients to wait six weeks before resuming heavy lifting. It's always best to ask your surgeon and follow their advice. Good luck. 

You should be able to get back to all the things you enjoy but with chest presses you may notice movement of your implants esp. if they are sub muscular. Start light and build gradually 

You should be able to slowly return to weight lifting, building up the weight, over 3-6 weeks post operative.
