Asked By:EmmaLou29 in Kingdom City, MO

Since developing capsular contracture 4 weeks ago I have stopped doing my usual running and weight lifting just in case it made it worse. I'm not able to have revision surgery til August. I miss my running and exercise classes, am I ok to do my high impact exercise until i have surgery? Or do I need to do low impact for the next couple months?
