I had silicone unders 3 weeks ago. I am doing ab work not affecting pecs & gradually increasing my cardio, just using a treadmill to walk but my surgeon says I can start running anytime although I don't feel quite comfortable doing it yet. I do not want to do any lifting that will affect my pecs but I am anxious to do tricep and bicep work not engaging the pec muscles. What exercises are safe to do at this point?

Answer: Exercise after breast augmentation
Congratulations on your surgery! In situations like this, it is best to follow your surgeon's advice. Every surgeon has a specific postoperative protocol that they find works well for their patients. In general, most surgeons will ask patients to limit their upper body exercise for the first 3-6 weeks. The best advice with any protocol is to listen to your body and don't push yourself too hard. Good luck!

Answer: Exercise after Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure, as well as your healthy lifestyle! Out of respect for your plastic surgeon, best to run these types of questions by him/her, given that he/she knows exactly how you are progressing and will have a better idea of exactly what you are planning on doing. Keep in mind, that ultimately he/she is responsible for your care. Best wishes.
