It has been three weeks since my breast augmentation and I feel great, pretty much back to normal. Before my surgery I worked out a lot and so I've been getting restless. All I've done so far is very light walking. My doctor told me no lifting or bending for 6-8 weeks, which I expected, but I'm wondering if I could do other exercises: squats, lunges, crunches. I am also wondering if I could start doing aerobic exercises like Zumba or using the stair master or the elliptical?
Answer: Exercise after surgery I always tell my patients to follow the surgeons instructions for exercise after surgery. In my practice, if at 3 weeks a patient feels pretty much back to baseline, I tell her she can do lower body exercise and to listen to her body. No upper body exercise for 4-6 weeks. That being said, please ask your surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Working out after BA It is important that you not engage in strenuous activities in the first 6 weeks after surgery. Aerobic exercise will raise your bloodpressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. If your job keeps you sedentary, you may return to work when you feel comfortable, several days after surgery. Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!!You should ask your plastic surgeon about his recommendations for exercise after surgery. Every surgeon has different post op recommendations. I let my patients take gentle walks within a few days, light aerobic exercise in 2-3 weeks, and unrestricted exercise after 6 weeks.#breastaugmentation#BA#exerciseafterBA

Answer: Exercise after breast augmentation You will be able to begin your regular exercise routine, specifically aerobic and lower body weight training after three weeks. However, you should work slowly up to your former intensity. Before starting, please ask your surgeon for their advice.

Answer: Exercise following breast augmentation Limit your activity with your upper body (arms) for four weeks following surgery. The biggest concern is with lifting, pulling or straining with your upper body. Follow the advice of your surgeon. I would not consider doing aerobics or crunches until you have been cleared by your surgeon to do so.
