I do a lot of resistance training and I understand my upper body workouts are completely out of the question post-surgery. Can I still do lower body resistance training? Will I be limited to only light aerobic exercise?

Answer: Breast augmentation and exercise After plastic surgery, most surgeons restrict strenuous activity in the early postoperative period to minimize the risk of bleeding. We want patients to walk and not just stay in bed but nothing to get your heart rate up. Lower body exercises and light cardio frequently may be started 2-3 weeks postop depending on individual patient healing.

Answer: Post-op workout Each surgeon has his own post-op instructions. If you were my patient, I would tell you no vigorous activity or heavy lifting for 3 weeks following surgery. Regarding upper body workouts that engage your chest muscles, I like my patients to wait 3 months. After that, you can resume doing whatever you'd like. Best of luck!
