I have underwent a breast augmentation (520cc sub-muscular) and am concerned about this affecting my ability to perform push ups once I ship out for the Air Force. Will I be able to perform push-ups multiple times through out the day?
Answer: Exercise post op Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for six weeks. You may, however, do normal activities at any time if they cause no pain or discomfort. Let your body tell you what you can or cannot do. Aerobic exercise will raise your blood pressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!! It may require the full 6 weeks before you can do any upper body work-outs, yoga, etc.

Answer: Doing push-ups in the military after breast implants You will be able to do multiple push-ups. It's best to get your doctor's advice, but I tell my patients that three weeks after surgery, it’s OK for them to do

Answer: You should have no problem joining the Military after you heal from your breast augmentation In fact when I was in the Air Force I did a good number of breast augmentations on active duty women. You should be able to do all of the required PT and lifting after you have healed after 6-8 weeks. Thank you for volunteering to serve our country
