Need exact postop activity restrictions/info for galaflex breast lift w/new implants? Can I use my arms? How much? When?

Thank you for your question.  It is far too early to make any definitive statements about your final outcome.  It usually takes about a year until all the elements settle and scars become stable.  It sounds like you are doing FAR too much this early post op.  You do not want sheer force across the incision lines or in the pocket, especially with Galaflex.  Please follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's instructions.  Please let them know of your concerns.  Together you will get through this process, hopefully with an outcome that you like.Jeffrey J.

Dear Byoga2000,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

I encourage you to follow your plastic surgeon's instructions to a T. Each surgeon has their own set of instructions that they want their patients to follow for the best outcome. 

Thank you for your question.  Every doctor has their own routine regarding postoperative restrictions, so I would ask your surgeon more details about what they would and would not like you to do.  I use GalaFlex and typically have my patients "take it easy" for longer times than my patients without GalaFlex because I think increased activity prolongs the mesh from getting incorporated (it rubs against the tissue).Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic Surgery
