Am I able to do push-ups 1 year after having a breast augmentation?

At 1 year post op, you should be fully healed from your procedure
and clear to resume any chest exercises. The sensation you are describing
sounds normal, your implants will move slightly as you exercise. Your body
simply needs to adjust to you doing more strenuous movements with your
implants. With time, chest exercises should feel more and more natural. If you
feel like you are experiencing abnormal pains with exercise, I recommend
reaching out to your surgeon. Best of luck!

Dear nicoler19,one year after surgery, there should be no limitations. If you have any problems it is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for your question.By 1 year, you should be fully healed. You should be able to resume chest muscle exercises. What you are describing sounds normal as you most likely went under the muscle. Please see your surgeon if you are still concerned. Regards,

This all sounds normal. I have triple crown body builders who resume there full chest workouts by the 8th week after breast augmentation with no problems whatsoever.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author 

but should you?  If your implants are under the muscle as suggested, I have seen where serious and prolonged working out of the chest muscles for strengthening DID displace the implants down and out.  My patients are told they can tone their chest muscles but they are not to attempt strengthening them or they could risk displacement down the road.  Doing a few push-ups would be fine but trying for 10+ reps should not be done in my opinion.

By 1 year after breast augmentation surgery there should be no limitations on your physical exercise. I recommend that you see your plastic surgeon for an examination to determine if there is a significant problem.
