I had a breast augmentation around 2 1/2 months ago. 400cc HP under the muscle, inframammary incision. Received OK to workout at 6 wk f/u apt. Started out good, I stuck with only leg exercises and walking for awhile but my boobs wont let me advance. Ive even put that stupid strap on above my chest in an attempt for support. In high impact sports bras it still hurts (pressure) when i simply bend over or even jog. I have to hold my chest with my hands. Wondering if im being impatient or if this is normal?

Answer: Pain After Breast Augmentation Patients have pain for varying amounts of time after breast augmentation surgery. I would suggest you contact your surgeon so that he or she can examine you and advise you on the specifics of your symptoms.

Answer: Pain with exercise after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing discomfort with exercise after the surgery. I generally advise my patients to use discomfort as a guide to how much they can do. I asked them to do stretching exercises to the point where it starts to feel uncomfortable and hold it there. With every week that passes you should be able to gain little more flexibility until you were back to your baseline. If you overdo it, you may cause some inflammation which may make it more painful to continue forward. In that case take a break for a few days and then try again. Also if this is persistent, to visit with your plastic surgeon, who can evaluate you for early signs of capsular contracture. Good luck.
