Muay Thai Training Post Lollipop Breast Lift? (No Implant or Reduction, Lift Only) I Am 25 Years Old.

Question

I train in Muay Thai boxing 5 days a week/ 2 hours a day. The usual routine is lots of jump rope, lifting, pushups, sit ups, cardio, kicking pads, holding pads, punching etc... quite intense. My goal is to train very intensively in Thailand March 2013 and my surgery is August 15, 2012. I want great results, so I have promised to put training on pause for as long as I need no matter what. Realistically, what are your thoughts on when I can begin conditioning myself for this adventure post op?

Thank you for the question.

	Your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to advise you about returning to intense activity after your breast lift surgery. His/her recommendations will be based on exactly how you do after surgery ( hopefully complication free).

	Generally speaking, after the type of surgery that you are planning, my patients are able to return to relatively intense activity level 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. Of course, this return will be patient specific and gradual.

	Based on the way you have things scheduled, I do not think you have much to worry about.

	Good luck!

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

I generally expect most patients to be back to their pre-op level of exercise by 6 weeks, provided all is healing normally. 

	Patients can walk as much as they wish from day 1. Light cardio at a week, after a post-op visit. Begin easing into upper body routines at week 4, then up to  "normal" by six weeks. This schedule works for most patients. But check with  your own surgeon.

	Thanks for the question, best wishes.

I agree that 6-8 weeks should be enough in most cases.  If certain internal breast suspension sutures are used, your plastic surgeon may want you to wait longer.  You may still have some discomfort at that point as well, especially with intense exercise.  Ask your plastic surgeon.

In our practice we like to tell our patients to wait 6-8 weeks before starting there normal work out routine.
