Answer: How long do I have to wait to do crossfit/bootcamp after getting breast augmentation? Thank you for the question. Long-term patients who undergo breast augmentation surgery should be able to return to all activities with full strength. Timing to return to specific types of exercise will vary from one patient to another. Best to check with your plastic surgeon for specific advice. Generally, I suggest patients gradually ease back into the strenuous aerobic exercise 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively, assuming that they are doing well and there have been no complications. Lower body exercise can generally be resumed 2 weeks postoperatively. Use common sense, listen to your body, and gradually resume previous activity. In my practice, I ask patients to avoid contact and strenuous exercise involving the pectoralis major muscles ( such as push-ups, bench press, burpees, dancing on a pole…) for at least 3-6 months. Best wishes.

Answer: Exercise After Breast Augmentation The recovery process is much easier than most people expect. My patients tell me that they were able to spend time and enjoy their evening at home the very first night after surgery. They felt some discomfort and pressure over the chest, but this was easily improved with medications. My patients are able to shower the first day after surgery. They felt tired and required rest for the first two days. Most people tell me they wake up on the third day with much more energy, less pain and are able to participate in much more activity. Many patients go out to eat, meet up with friends or go shopping by the third day. You will have more energy and less discomfort as each day goes by. Most patients are off all medications by the fourth or fifth day. Many patients return to work, school and driving by the fifth day. It is not recommended that patients do any heavy lifting or chest exercises for the first 4 weeks, but the recovery rapidly improves each day. Everyone is different, so recovery times can vary.

Answer: Workout after breast augmentation Hi Thank you for your question. Usually we recommend to not excercise at least 6 weeks after a breast augmentation surgery. For extreme sports or actual chest excercises we recommend to wait at least 3 months. However it is important to follow the postoperative instructions of your surgeon. He is the one who is familiar with your case and can give more accurate information. All the best Dr Marco Carmona MD
