It has been 6 weeks since my under the muscle silicone implants. Is it safe to do upper body weights? I also want to do the Insanity workout dvds which are very high intensity workouts with a lot of pushups, running, jumping jacks, etc. At what time would it be safe to begin that? Thanks
Answer: Might be okay now but ask your surgeon By this time, I'd say it's safe for you to proceed as long as you wear a good sports bra. However, you should ask your surgeon first as they may have different guidelines.Make sure to start off slowly and build up intensity gradually.

Answer: Insanity / P90x after Breast Surgery
Thank you for your question.
I would highly suggest that you ask your surgeon and follow his/her advice in regards to doing these types of workouts. If your recovery has been uneventful, your surgeon may give you the green light to proceed with these types of exercises but I would ask that you listen to your body and start slowly.
Best wishes.

Answer: Exercise after breast implants.
You should ask your surgeon for specific advice on their recommendations as they are the person who knows you best. In general, I have my patients start exercise as tolerated after two to three weeks and increase the intensity over time.
Good luck.

Answer: Exercise after breast augmentation
I tell my patients that as long as they heal normally, they should be able to do almost any activity 6 weeks after surgery. Push ups, running, etc. should not be any problem. I would still be slightly cautious with extreme weight lifting, but the insanity and P90X programs use your own body weight and are not based on extreme weights, so you should be able to start your insanity now if you like.

Answer: Vigorous Exercise After Breast Augmentation, Check With Your Surgeon Thank you for your question.It is very important that you check with the plastic surgeon who performed your breast augmentation and follow the surgeons advice as to when you can begin vigorous physical activity after your breast augmentation.As a general rule I allow my patients to begin vigorous physical activity at 3-4 weeks after breast augmentation if they have had an uneventful recovery, have healed well, have no complications or problems, and if the physical activitydoes not cause discomfort.
