I got 325cc breast implants 14 days ago. I am looking at getting back into training for IRONMAN. I am most nervous about swimming/ running and my implants moving... Any thoughts on this? I am looking at doing a full distance IRONMAN in May so I need to get back in the pool- my doctor said 4 weeks post op I am able to swim and 3 weeks for running/ cycling (starting light).

Answer: Breast Augmentation: Timing of post-operative exercise I agree with your doctor. I tell my patients that three weeks after surgery, it’s OK for them to do aerobic activity (treadmill, stationary bike, etc.), running and lower-body weight training. Women are usually comfortable doing arm exercises (upper-body weights, swimming) starting about six weeks after surgery.I have two Triple Crown bodybuilders in my cosmetic breast surgery practice. They started upper workouts at six weeks with no problem. I did advise them to start light at first and allow two weeks to get back to their full weight workout. For more information on this and related topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

Answer: Training I think it best to follow your surgeons post operative instructions. He or she knows your case the best.
