Can I exercise after getting saline implant drained?

Hello,
Thank you for the question.
Typically, patients may resume exercising and weight lifting 4 weeks after breast surgery, but it can also depend on the individual healing time.
I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results.
Best wishes and good luck.

Typically my patients are able to resume regular activity the day after having saline implants electively deflated in the office. This is of course dependent on several factors including the method of deflation, your overall health, any medications that you may be on, bleeding risk, etc, so the decision is best made individually by the provider actually performing your deflation. Hope that helps.

I would be careful for a few days to minimize the risk of bleeding. A needle, not small, will be placed through your breasts and into the implant. You may then be bound somewhat tightly to help minimize the risk of a seroma.
