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: Postop recovery Hi. I tell my patients that they can walk unrestricted straight away so long as it doesn't raise a sweat. At 4 weeks you can do light exercise that raises a light sweat - ie fast walking, gentle stationary bike etc. no heavy exercise or upper body for 6 weeks. Regards

Answer: Exercise after Breast surgery Exercising is always good for the body, now, after surgery, you just have to take some precautions so it doesn't mess up your results or cause you complications. It's recommended that patients wait about 4 weeks before to start exercising; and it's necessary to start with light workout (cardio) and then progressively go back to your regular routine. I hope you find this opinion helpful!

Answer: Is all exercise off limits after a breast augmentation? In general, I don't think you will be comfortable doing any exercise the first two weeks. After that, I think cardio and very light weights are reasonable. But I do recommend avoiding chest exercises the first month post-operatively. Good luck!

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!
