Can I use crutches after Breast lift with implants after 3-5 days?

lkimberleyNov 12, 2017
I fractured my ankle 2 days before surgery but travelled abroad so I still went through with the surgery after my ps said it was safe to do so. I’m just worried now when it’s safe to use my crutches. I have been told 3-5 days. They are crutches that just go as high as my elbows. I had the lollipop lift with implants under the muscle. I also have a wheelchair to get around but I want to be sure it’s safe to use the crutches in 3-5 days.
