I currently workout 5-6 times a week burning around 400 calories per day either by running or elliptical machine. I’ve read no exercising for 4-6 weeks and I’m scared of losing all my abs, muscle and gaining weight! So my question is what’s the general rule going back to exercise timeline wise and what kind of exercise is safe?

Answer: Exercising post-op I tell my patients they can start walking immediately. Light exercise at two weeks and then can go crazy at 4-6 weeks. When in doubt- walk!

Answer: When can I exercise post-op??? Great question - and a super common one too - since it seems like the vast, vast majority of breast augmentation patients work-out. Quick answer is 4 weeks of no working out - but you can walk as much as you like as of the day of surgery. In fact, I want you walking every waking hour as of the day of surgery.If you were to really press me, I would let you get on a recumbent bike sooner as long as you crossed your arms and did not involve your pec muscles. And also important to start back slowly when you begin exercising - listen to your body and be reasonable. Best of luck!
