Weight training after subglandular breast augmentation correction. When can I do it?

Question

I am a bodybuilder/bikini competitor and had Subglandular breast implants in May 2012. My right breast developed capsular contracture around March 2014. Before I schedule surgery, I want to ask when can I train again. I am just having the right breast implant removed and replaced (subglandular again @ 400cc). When can I do lower body (squats, hip thrust, leg press, leg extension - no dead lift, since that involves upper body) and when can I resume my entire training schedule? Thank you.

Thanks fro the question.  I tell my patients that they can resume all activity, as tolerated,at 4 weeks post op.  Would discuss this with your surgeon, as each surgeon has his or her own post operative protocol.  Best Regards.

I recommend that my patients wait 4 weeks before resuming these types of weight lifting exercises and high intensity workouts. Restrictions vary from PS, and you should consult with your PS for recommendations on when to resume these activities.
