How soon can I start to workout after having breast reduction scar revision surgery?

Light exercise, such as walking, is permissible (and even encouraged) during the first week, but you’ll need to wait between a month and 6 weeks for anything more strenuous. Activities that raise your blood pressure can have an unfavorable effect on your incisions. Give your body plenty of time to heal undisturbed. When you do reach the 1-month mark, ease back into these activities gradually to reduce the risk of injury. 

Hi arboobs,It is best to follow up with your operating surgeon regarding when they feel it is okay for you to begin exercise again. Each surgeon has their own guidelines and they know your case best!

Thank you for your question. The person best qualified to let you know when it is safe to begin exercising again is your plastic surgeon, as they are familiar with your specific case. I recommend talking to them and following their instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing.

Good afternoon and thank you for your question.Most surgeons have slightly different timelines they like to stick to when it comes to their patients resuming activities such as working out. I typically advise my patients to wait a minimum of three to four weeks before resuming light activities. For best results, please consult your certified plastic surgeon.Have a nice day.

Thank you for your question.
Every plastic surgery office has their own set of pre and post operative instructions that they recommend their patients follow. It is most important to follow the instructions of your surgeon.

You should ask your surgeon what he feels it appropriate to return to activity. If it was just a scar revision, I will often allow patients to go back to light activity within 2-3 weeks.
