So my surgeon said that I am never ever allowed to do pushups or pullups ever again after surgery but I see women all over the place continuing to do these exercises. My recovery has been well over a year. I want to get back to pullups and pushups. Was he just being conservative. He tells ALL his patients this-- it wasnt just me - thats his standard response to anyone. I had a breast augumentation - nothing huge- C cups with a lift and then an internal bra.

Answer: Returning to activity Typically patients are able to gradually return to their activity level after they have fully healed from breast augmentation. This would include activities such as CrossFit.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear Tough133620, I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
