When can I return to high impact exercise such as jogging and kickboxing following breast explantation (no capsule removal)? What about low impact such as cycling? I am nervous about complications such as seroma and I read this can occur with exercise. Maintaining my exercise regimine is very important to me, so I would like to resume my normal physical activity ASAP. Thank you!!!
Answer: Exercise after Explant Consult with your surgeon about the types of activities that are acceptable post-surgery. It is important that you not engage in strenuous activities in the first three (2-3) weeks after surgery. My own personal recommendations to my patients are start walking as much as you want to, as soon as you want to. Then progress as desired to high-reps, low-resistance exercises. Slowly progress for 6 weeks, after which time there are no restrictions. I advise my patients to refrain from strenuous physical activity such as heavy lifting with your arms or jogging for 6 weeks. Aerobic exercise will raise your blood pressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!! It is important that you follow your doctor's instructions so that you get the best aesthetic results. #breastrevision #breastimplants

Answer: Full Contact Sport Thank you for your question. At 6 weeks most surgeons let patients return to all activities. Full contact sports are another issue. As you did not have a capsulectomy, it may take longer for that tissues to adhere, stabilize and to be able to withstand blunt trauma. Discuss with your surgeon.
