I'm currently 10 days post-op, and returning back to work tomorrow. I've been following the surgeon's orders to a tee! I've been taking it easy, and eating clean (which I do anyway). Since I can't do high-intensity cardio for the next couple weeks, I'm wondering when it will be safe to add a waist trainer into the picture during my shifts at work?

Answer: Post Op Downtime, Recovery and Activities Hi RockNDoll, Downtime and recovery after breast augmentation surgery varies. The majority of breast augmentation patients need one week of downtime. Depending on the work environment (heavy lifting, etc) more time off may be necessary. Patients are encouraged to walk immediately after surgery to avoid blood clots in the legs. When it comes to exercising, it may also vary depending on the type of exercises you are going to perform. I suggest that you follow your plastic surgeon’s post-operative instructions, especially on the level of activity that you can do and your scheduled follow up checkups, for faster healing and recovery.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery RockNDoll. Sounds like you are a dream patient! Not sure why you would need a waist trainer since you adhere to a clean and healthy diet, but you should be able to wear it when you return to work. Of course check in with your plastic surgeon to be certain that it is OK to do so. Good luck and enjoy the new you!
