When is exercising OK after breast reduction?

Asked By:Rachell2013 in Dallas, TX

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?
