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: 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.

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.
