Should I stop doing push ups and chest exercises after my breast implants?

 As a general rule of thumb is safe to walk at a slow pace immediately after surgery, to do light cardio at around two weeks, and to begin working your upper body at 6 weeks. That said, it is critical that you check with your surgeon, since details of your particular surgery can have a huge impact on this timeline.Textured or anatomical shaped implants, excess bleeding at the time of surgery, and the rate of healing can all be reasons to wait closer to 8-12 weeks for heavy lifting. 

Check with your surgeon to find out his or her protocol for returning to the gym. I tell my patients they can return to their chest presses, dumbbell flys and push-ups easily from the 5th or 6th week on. It's just important to listen to your body; if you feel sore, you should take it easy. I have Triple Crown bodybuilders who went back into competition after getting implants. They started with light training at six weeks and heavier training after eight weeks. For more information on this and
similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop
On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

It is important that you not engage in strenuous activities in the first 6 weeks after surgery. Aerobic exercise will raise your bloodpressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. If your job keeps you sedentary, you may return to work when you feel comfortable, several days after surgery. Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!!You should ask your plastic surgeon about his recommendations for exercise after surgery. Every surgeon has different post op recommendations. I let my patients take gentle walks within a few days, light aerobic exercise in 2-3 weeks, and unrestricted exercise after 6 weeks.#breastaugmentation#BA#exerciseafterBA
