I got 350cc saline high profile submuscular breast implants with a crease incision. I lifted a backpack and went walking for a few miles at day 8 post op. I did not know that I could not exercise or lift heavy weights until 3 weeks post op. What will be the consequence of this? Did I do long term damage?
Answer: Exercise after breast augmentation Increasing your blood pressure and heart rate within the first 7-10 days after surgery does slightly increase the possibility of having unwanted bleeding and bruising. I typically ask my patients to refrain from aerobic exercise during the first week or so. After that, low impact exercise and isolated lower body and core exercise is allowed. I prefer my patients to avoid heavy lifting and upper body workouts for about 6 weeks. Upper body exercise can affect the implant positioning and negatively influence the natural softening and settling of the implants. You probably have not done anything that will cause you any issues. If you have concerns or symptoms or just want reassurance, a quick visit with your surgeon is helpful and usually welcome.

Answer: Lifting heavy weights and exercising soon after breast augmentation surgery We ask our patients to avoid heavy lifting, straining and elevating their blood pressure in the first few weeks after surgery to minimize bruising, bleeding, pain and implant displacement. Follow up with your plastic surgeon to be sure all is well and review their postoperative regimen for exercise.

Answer: Exercise Good question. If your breasts feel the same and look the same then all is well. Seems that everyone has a different routine for the post-op restrictions and for differing reasons. Over the past 25 years I liberalized my restrictions to where for the past 10 years or so I only restrict patients for one week. After one week I allow them to do whatever they want without restriction. This does NOT mean they are ABLE and COMFORTABLE doing everything, just that they can decide what they want to deal with in terms of discomfort. This policy has NEVER yet been an issue over what is now thousands of patients.
