Hello, I am considering breast lift with no implants. How long until I can go back to light workouts and then back to my regular routine? Also after procedure how long until I can piece my nipples if I decide I want to.

Answer: Three and six weeks in my practice Dear Woffaw, I ask my patients to refrain from raising their heart rate and much arm movement for the first three weeks after surgery. After that, I tell them they can start easing into more normal things but recommend six weeks before going hard in the gym. Of course, follow the directions of the surgeon you choose. We all have different opinions on the subject. Best wishes!

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear woffaw, I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
