Hot yoga/Vinyasa/Pilates/Planks after breast implants? Yes, depends, or never again?

Thanks for your question. After 6 weeks I don't put any restrictions on breast aug patients. I do however encourgae a good supportive sports bra. Some poses and actions will feel very strange at first but your body will get used to the implants being there. Start slowly and build up over a few weeks to help make the process easier. Best of Luck!

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!

Great question. I let patients return to Yoga after 6 weeks. You should speak to your plastic surgeon about when to expect to return to yoga based on the size you've chosen and the technique of placement. I don't recommend pushups or pectoral exercise for at least 1 year. Ask your surgeon.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Yes, you should be able to return to all types of exercise (even rigorous) after breast augmentation; it may be a few months before you are able or should return to specific activities (especially those involving the pectoralis major muscle). Your plastic surgeon will guide you during your post op course. Best wishes.

 

I discourage any strenuous activity for the pectoralis major muscle in pts. with submuscular implants for at least six months after surgery or until the implants have completely settled. I believe that in most instances light pectoral work can be done after that. I have seen several pts where the implants have bottomed out very badly due to heavy weight lifting, push ups, etc., where the surgery has been done correctly. .
