When can I start rebounding exercises or skipping after breast augmentation?

Congratulations on your recent surgery! At 3 weeks you should be okay to resume cardio and light aerobic activity. I would stay away from any chest exercises such as bench press, push-ups, and flys until 6-8 weeks post-op.  However keep in mind if you have a sub muscular implant placement doing chest exercises will cause the chest muscle to push the implants out taking away that feminine cleavage. Best of Luck! 

After
breast implant surgery, I advise the patients to take one week off from work.
At that point we take out their stitches and teach them the implant
massage technique. We suggest 5 times per day with the massage and no bra
for one month. The patients may return to work, but may not engage in any
strenuous activity. At one month, the patients start to wear a soft cup
bra with no underwire and can start low impact cardio. At two months they
can wear an underwire bra and engage in more strenuous physical activity.
Breast massage continues forever, although only once per day. The rebounder is strictly off limits for 3 months.

Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

I appreciate your question.

I recommend you contact your Surgeon for the best and most safe advice as he/she should have a detailed list of post op instructions for you.  He/she can also examine you, determine how you are healing at this time and recommend what activities are most safe to resume.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.



best of luck!

Hello,Thank you for your question. I recommend patients can begin cardio and sometimes higher impact activities at 3 weeks, no heavy lifting until 6 weeks. Each Plastic Surgeon will have their own preferred post op protocols. I recommend that you check with your Plastic Surgeon and have them clear you to reintroduce high impact activity.All the best!

Thanks for yuor inquiry,  I think in most cases, more impact activities like running or bouncing can be started at 4-6 weeks, but on occassion I have patients who I wish to abstain longer because of the progress/healing of their result.  Please check in with your plastic surgeon.  Good Luck.  

Thank you for your questions.  Always speak to your surgeon about their post surgery activity restrictions, but assuming you wear very supportive undergarments, you would likely be able to resume your exercises at 6-8 weeks after surgery.  The cause of concern is for the stretch that the trampoline may place on your implants, possibly causing malposition issues.  Best to play it safe and allow further healing to take place.  Hope that this helps. 

Thank you for your question.  During my consults with patients I explain my protocol for graduated activity.  Depending upon the size of implants, the approach, and the baseline health of the patient there are different strategies.  In general, I would recommend being active with casual walking and mild sedentary tasks beginning on day one.  At three weeks one can then increase to cardio activities such as bike or spinning.  I usually remove all restrictions after three months. Even at three months I council patients to listen to their body because if an activity is uncomfortable or causing pain one should alter or stop those activities and give it more time. Activities such as trampoline may place significant gravitational forces on the implants and breasts and could disrupt the healing tissues even with a supportive sports bra.  I would check with your physician for specific restrictions and recommendations for unrestricted activity.

Hi,Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns. Having said that, I typically recommend 3 weeks before increasing heart rate, 4 weeks before going to the gym. By then you should have a pretty good idea about what activities hurt. As a general rule, if it still hurts, then don't do it.I hope you found this helpful. As always, ask your PS first about any questions. Have a great day.

Hi, Bella3333.  Congratulations on your recent breast augmentation surgery.  I usually allow my patients to resume light cadio exercise 4 weeks after surgery and more vigorous exercise 6 weeks after surgery.  I see them prior to giving clearance.  Please check back with your plastic surgeon as each plastic surgeon may differ in his/her post-operative regimen.  Best regards.
