I have my breast augmentation in 3 days. I'm a pretty active person (running, cycling & weights) and I had planned on exercising right up to the day of my surgery. My surgery is at 1:30, and I didn't think I would exercise the day of. But I'm wondering if I should plan rest days prior? Like a taper before the marathon? Haha. Seriously, though, I am curious if this makes a difference in recovery. Do you think it is ok to continue I the same level of exercise the days prior to my surgery?
Answer: PreSurgery Exercise There should be no reason that you should need to "taper down" your exercise routine prior to surgery. The only caveat is that since you will need to stop eating or drinking at midnight before surgery, be sure that you are well hydrated before starting the "fasting" period before surgery.Best wishes!

Answer: Activity before breast aug Thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.Fitness is a good adjuvant to fast recovery after surgery. however, overworking the muscles that you will have treated during a surgical procedure may increase the trauma and delay the recovery from surgery. Unfortunately there are no studies demonstrating the harm or benefit of exercise before breast augmentation.Finally, make sure that your doctor is aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care. Wishing you the best in your journey
