Is upper back pain normal after BA? I want to keep getting up to ease the soreness / pain and is this okay? Just had BA this morning.
Answer: Walking is encouraged after any surgery Walking is strongly encouraged to get your legs going, get your circulation pumping and avoid the risk of blood clots in your legs which can be very dangerous. Don't let pain keep you in bed.

Answer: Should be okay to walk leisurely around It is common to experience some discomfort following surgery. For the first three days, make sure you limit arm movements but you can certainly leisurely walk. Be careful in taking steps, and get assistance if necessary.After three days, relatively normal non-strenuous activities can be resumed. You shouldn't be exercising at this time.However, you should always ask your surgeon for their advice. They may have different guidelines on physical activity. Congratulations on your breast augmentation!

Answer: Breast augmentation activity Each surgeon has her or his own ideas about the best levels of activity for patients after an augmentation. I encourage my patients to be up moving around as much as possible on the day of surgery. I encourage them to move their arms, reach up to cabinets, and be moderately active. Strenuous activity like running, lifting anything over about 10 pounds, walking a large dog on a leash, or pushing heavy doors is discouraged for a few weeks. I am a big fan of ibuprofen for mild discomfort after breast augmentation; that's all that many of my patients require. Pain in the back is fairly common for a few days after an augmentation. Movement and ibuprofen help my patients with this. Your surgeon probably has some particular recommendations regarding these issues for you, and your surgeon knows the details of your surgery and the types of activities that may be best for you. Don't follow comments or advice you read on the internet. You have a relationship with your surgeon; call your surgeon's office and see what she/he thinks!

Answer: Day 1 Post op pain is common. It can occur anywhere in the chest. Being up and around will hasten your recovery and decrease the chances of blood clots in your legs. Follow with your surgeon. All the best.
