We have to wait 5 weeks to start intense workout that involves the upper body, what about hot yoga, do we have to wait longer?

Although patients are encouraged to get
up and moving and not remain in bed following surgery, they are advised to
abstain from heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for approximately 6 weeks
following a breast augmentation surgery. During this time patients wear a special surgical garment for additional support.
Patients returning to an exercise
regiment should start off slowing and gradually work their way back up to what
they were accustomed to prior to surgery. Your post operative team will inform you weekly what you can start introducing back into your routine and how much weight is safe to lift during your recovery period. Hot Yoga poses additional risks to you while you are healing. Patients are advised to avoid activities that can risk infection during recovery such as the use of hot tubs, saunas and trips to the spa. A yoga studio, especially one that turns up the heat, can be a breading ground for bacteria that can lead to infections. The concern isn't only the area of surgery but patients should be extra cautious during their recovery period when the body is already compromised and working extra hard to heal from surgery, you don't want to throw in an unwanted illness or infection during this time. 
Speak to your surgeon regarding what
activities you should avoid and for how long. It's tough for physically active patients to remain inactive for such a long time, but its worth it in the end. 

anonyme.    I appreciate your compassion for yoga and working out, but the advice I give my patients is no strong physical activity, cardio, or heavy lifting involving the chest muscles for four weeks after breast augmentation. The issue is possible postoperative bleeding which can be triggered by working out too early after surgery. Seek out a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss all aspects of recovery after your breast augmentation surgery. Good luck.
