I'm 13 days post-op from a breast augmentation, everything looks and is going great. I would love to know when can I start working out on my lower body... and when can I sleep on my side.

Answer: When can I get back to working out? Thank you for your question. Every surgeon will have their preferences, but for my patients I am OK with them returning to light aerobic activity after three weeks. I recommend no heavy lifting, or any activity that involves the pectoralis muscle, such as benchpress, planks etc. for at least six weeks after breast surgery. As far as sleeping is concerned, I recommend on your back for the first week, side to side is fine the second week, anyway you please after the third week. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer: Working out. Moderate exercise is okay after 4 weeks - practice good judgement and common sense. Sleeping on your side and belly will absolutely impact the ultimate placement of your implant. I have done several studies detailing this result. Staying on your back for sleep also benefits your face from premature aging. Good luck - I'm sure you will love your new look.
