Is it safe to go running or do some light jogging 1 month post op BA?

Thank you for your question. You definitely want to follow your own surgeon's post-op activity instructions. This is a general guide I give to my patients:
1) No heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 6 weeks.
2) Resume walking at a leisurely pace right after surgery (e.g. 2 mph)
3) At 2 weeks, you can walk 2 miles at 2mph
4) At 3 weeks, you can walk 3 miles at 3mph
5) At 4 weeks, you can walk 4 miles at 4mph
6) At 5 weeks, you can jog 5 miles at 5mph
7) At 6 weeks, you can resume all activities, but listen to your body and use discomfort or tightness as a guide so you don't over do it.

At one month after breast augmentation, we allow the patients to start some light low impact cardio.  After 2 months you can run.  If the bouncing is painful, then it is too much for you ta this point.

Each plastic surgeon has his or her own paradigm with reference to post augmentation physical activity.That being said, if you were my patient, I routinely recommend running at four weeks wearing a double sports bra.  I strongly encourage my patients to go on long walks at the end of one week, to go swimming at the end of two weeks, especially since I put all my implants in through the armpit and the activity of swimming gets the arm and shoulder working again.  At the end of three weeks, I recommend going back to gym except for pushups, bench pressing, or those activities that specifically target the pectoralis muscle.  With all of the above activities, I recommend taking baby steps at first, and that includes running at four weeks, possibly run-walking just to check out how you feel.  Obviously, let your body be your guide.  If it hurts, give it a rest for a day or two and then come back with more baby steps.

Thank you for your question.  Best advice is to follow the recommendations of your surgeon, since he or she knows your surgery and you best.  In general, starting light activity is not bad at 4 weeks, but with a good supportive bra.  If it is uncomfortable, then back off a bit until you are a bit more healed.  

I would say that you should wait another month or so before doing vigorous exercise like jogging. The presence of pain is always an indication that you should back off, which is what you did.Once the natural scar around the implant has matured jogging and other activity should be fine and you will probably not be as aware of the movements of the implant. You should still use some type of support bra for these activities now that you have had a breast augmentation.

After Breast Augmentation, I allow my patients to start working out after 2 weeks.  Certainly one month post augmentation is safe.  Wearing one or even two support bras may improve your discomfort.

Make sure you have a supportive jog bra, but it is usually safe to run four weeks after a breast augmentation. I ask my patients to refrain from exercise for two weeks, then start light exercies and work their way back to full exercise by the end of a month. It is normal to be able to feel the bounce, but make sure you are supported. Ask your surgeon if you think something is not right.

Every plastic surgeon has their specific post-op instructions and I would advise any questions regarding post-op care and activities be directed to your surgeon.  In general I allow my BAM patients to ease back to light jogging and exercise at 4 weeks post-op.  A good support bra is a must while exercising.  Your comfort is also a good guide to activities.  Your breasts should eventually feel very natural doing all activities.

Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Your plastic surgery will always be your best resource when it comes to timing to return to specific activities.  having said that, most of our patients return to light jogging 4 to 6 weeks after breast augmentation surgery. The use of a supportive bra(s) is very important.  I ask my patients to “listen to their bodies” and slowly increase their activity levels as they do so. Best wishes.
