Will hot yoga affect my breast implants?

Yoga is a great practice, and I fully support everyone doing it.  At 2 months from surgery, your capsules should be matured sufficiently for you to do hot yoga.  In fact, I would venture to say that consistent with the principles of hot or warm yoga, it may even be safer because that causes the tissues to heat up and relax, thereby reducing the risk of tearing things, which is what our primary concern is at this stage.  If you feel any discomfort or strange sensations with any of the positions, don't force anything, and as always with yoga, respect your tissues, breathe and slowly stretch into a position, and don't force anything, especially beyond the point of pain.  Good luck, and Namaste!

Hot yoga should have no effect on  breast implants in a patient 7 weeks post-op.Robert Singer, MD  FACSLa Jolla, California

If you're like most patients, at 7 weeks you should be well-healed enough to do hot yoga as long as you recovered without complications. I tell my own patients if they feel a twinge, pain, or tenderness with certain positions, they should hold off and try again a week or two later.

Two months should be adequate time for capsular tissue to form around the implants but I would still recommend a good sports bra and using common sense.  If it doesn't feel right it probably isn't, in which case you should back off a little

 Thank you for the question. No, hot yoga (or other “extremes” of temperature) will not affect your breast implants. Enjoy!

Hot yoga and the associated exercises should not affect your implants 7 weeks out from your breast augmentation. Thanks for your question. Best wishes.
