I got breast implants, POD 2. Can I raise my hands above my head?

Thank you for your question! I recommend patients to wait at least 3 months until implants fall into pocket. Since every doctor has different post-op instructions, I recommend your schedule a follow-up appointment with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Hi there and thanks for your question.  I advise my patients to refrain from any exercise or heavy lifting/lifting arms for 4 weeks.Typically it takes about 3 weeks up to 3 months for the implants to drop. Once they fall into their pocket, your breasts should appear fuller.  I suggest seeing your plastic surgeon for regular follow ups to ensure a smooth recovery. Best of luck!

I usually recommend that my patients do not, or try not to, raise their arms over shoulder height for 2 weeks after a breast augmentation. However, you should ask your surgeon and follow their instructions. Implants sit high initially after surgery, and can take up to 3 months to settle and soften into the pocket.
