I am a fitness instructor (kick boxing, Step, weights) and I am seeking breast implants. How long do I need to refrain from teaching after surgery? Do I need to take extra precautions?
Answer: Return to excercise after This depends on the intensity and nature of your workouts as well as the location of the implants (over or under the muscle). In the latter instance, you should avoid pectoralis strengthening exercises that tend to displace the implant s laterally (outwards). I genrally recommend that patients avoid wide stance push ups, butterflies, and becnch press.

Answer: 6 Weeks after surgery You may want to consider waiting about 6 weeks after your surgery before resuming work. If you aren't actively taking the class and are more just talking, then three weeks is probably a good timeframe. However, you should ask your surgeon for their advice.

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Fitness Instructor?
Thank you for your question.
You can return to "supervising" 1 week after surgery. After 4-6 weeks, you can probably return but would need to still avoid contact and weight lifting until 3-4 months out from surgery. Patients start with lower body workouts and then proceed with upper body workouts after they get the "green light" from their surgeon - each patient is different with how their recovery process.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Exercising after Breast Augmentation After breast augmentation, I recommend patients wait for one week to start light walking so as to keep their routine needs fullfilled. Actual straining is not recommended for 6 weeks after surgery. In the case of some body builders the implant may be placed on top of the muscle (these circumstances are quite rare) in which case resumption of exercising can be done sooner. My best suggestion is that if in doubt, take 6 weeks off. There's nothing more regrettable than a hematoma soon after surgery from increasing your blood pressure just a little bit too much, or developing capsular contracture in the first few years after surgery for a hematoma that was too small to be noticed but not too small to trigger this hypothetical reaction. Best Wishes, DoctorMeade

Answer: Recovery Time after Breast Augmentation I generally have my patients resume full activity at 4 weeks times. This is really doctor dependant and you will see that different surgeons have different ideas as to when it is safe to proceed. Good luck.
