I'm very fit and enjoy lifting heavy weights several times per week. I'm wondering if getting the 'rapid recovery' procedure decreases the amount of time I should wait before doing a lower body workout (squats, for example). Or perhaps there's a weight limit after X number of weeks? I will also speak to my surgeon of course, but I'd like to hear from several doctors. If it helps, I plan to get about 415 cc silicone under the muscle, I'm 31 years old, 5'10 and about 160 lbs. Thank you!
Answer: Breast Augmentation - workouts So after doing hundreds (if not thousands) of breast implant cases, I think it is best to wait two weeks for start any heavy lifting or sweaty exercise other than walking. If you follow those instructions, you will actually recover more safely than any other regimen. There are natural healing time periods that you should follow as internally you really did have an operation. Best Wishes!!

Answer: Exercise after Augmentation We recommend that our breast augmentation patients get up and about immediately following surgery. We ask that you hold off on cardio activity for about two weeks to avoid bleeding and that you avoid heavy lifting, pushing/pulling, or other strenuous upper body activities for the first six weeks.

Answer: Breast augmentation: How long should I wait to do a lower body workout? I advise my patients that it is safe to return to the gym for running, aerobics and lower body weights by the 21st day after breast augmentation surgery. Upper body workouts could start around the sixth week. I have a couple of triple crown body builders who start light weights at six weeks and are back to full capacity by the 8th week in order to prepare for their next competition. Hope this information is helpful and reassuring. 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." Good luck.

Answer: Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation My typical protocol after breast augmentation surgery is that there are no physical restrictions other than what your body tells you to do without significant pain. You return to a lower body workout when it feels comfortable to do so.
