When can I start running after breast lift with implants?

Thank you for the question. The majority of patients who undergo the breast augmentation/lifting procedure will be able to return to full activity without restriction, over the long-term.  Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to return to specific activities. He/she will know exactly what was done and how you are progressing.





In my opinion, very gradual and cautious return to activities help prevent problems; "listen to your body" as you do so. Having said that, most patients are able to drive approximately one week after surgery, engage in lower body exercises two weeks after surgery, lift more than 10 pounds 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, and run 4 to 6 weeks after surgery as well.   







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 for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Return to Physical Activity/Exercise: Avoid heavy lifting
and strenuous activity for six weeks. You may, however, do normal
activities at any time if they cause no pain or discomfort. Let your body tell
you what you can or cannot do. Aerobic exercise will raise your blood
pressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result.  Once you
begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can
tolerate. Don’t rush!! It may require the full 6 weeks before you can do any upper
body work-outs, yoga, etc.

Make sure to check in with your surgeon for the best advice as to timing and your current stage in the healing process, and all should be well.
