Hello, I just had a breast reduction surgery and want to exercise. At 2 weeks post op, is it OK to do light exercise? Like a workout "dance video" at home? Or a daily "squats" challenge? I don't like sitting idle not being able to exercise. Prior to my breast reduction I had lost about 35-40 lbs to get closer to my goal and I don't want to lose momentum. I have no leaking, no soreness, no pain, and a tad swelling still. Is it safe to do light workouts so soon?
Answer: Breast Reduction Thanks for the question. After 4-6 weeks your operation area is totally healed and yes you can do exercising and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Resuming exercising after breast reduction. Specific instruction should come only from your own surgeon. In my practice patients can resume walking immediately after the procedure. After the sutures are out aerobic exercise is permitted provided the breasts are completely stable on the chest wall. This would include an exercise bike or something of the sort. After six weeks, provided there is no healing issues more vigorous physical activity can be undertaken provided the breasts are well supported by a bra. She

Answer: Exercise after Surgery I would hold off on exercise a little while longer. I recommend that all my patients keep their heart rate under 100 for at least 3 weeks following surgery. Then after those 3 weeks I recommend starting with light exercise then waiting until at least 6 weeks to do any strenuous exercise. Every surgeon is different so please refer to your specific doctors instructions.
