Can I do bodyweight squats/isolated leg machines 2 weeks post op BA?

January 7, 2018
Asked By:kt6792 in Fresno, CA

This Thursday I'll be 2 weeks post op from my breast augmentation. If I don't engage any upper body, will I be able to to bodyweight squats and certain machines like the leg press with no added weight? I just want to maintain my muscle as much as possible. Also, when can I resume squatting on the smith machine with light weight? Thank you!!
