I got unders with lift- 5 weeks ago —can you help me with tips to relax my pecs?

Question

400cc under the muscle & anchor lift Uneventful recovery but I’m still getting mild morning boob & muscle spasms most days. I’m also still a bit tight/restricted. i have no pain & breasts are softening well & mobile. I have seen some improvement but is there anything more I can do to help myself? Some excercises or stretches? I was a gym goer before surgery & I’m also a very anxious tense person- a worrier. I can’t help compare to others who are past this stage!

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.Based on the information shown, it is best to take rest because the implants underneath is the most annoying and painful technique during the post operative period and the reality is not recommended massages or anything in the breasts, rather than resting and not forcing the arms .It is recommended to do exercises with weights 3-4 months after surgery to avoid contraction of the pectoral and the implant suffers.

Thanks for your question? Can I ask what you are hoping to achieve by "relaxing your pecs". You mentioned that it was feeling very tight. Having implants and a lift will certainly make it feel very tight, regardless of whether your pecs are contracting or not. Or was your concern that you might have too much upper pole fullness? You appear to have had a very good result, and you are only at 5 weeks, so everything will significantly soften and drop with time. You will certainly still have some muscle discomfort at 5 weeks, and I wouldn't yet recommend returning to the gym, however you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Charles Nduka, MD · Answer

Your best course of action is to rest it and not do any strenuous exercises for the meantime. It is best to let the implants settle naturally and the tissues relax.Your best resource o information regarding weightlifting clearance would be your board certified plastic surgeon, as each has a different protocol.
