Upper body workouts 5 months after breast augmentation?

Thank you for your questions. At 5 months, you should be released to do whatever you want to do. However, with large submuscular implants like you have, be aware that over a long enough period of time, significant pectoralis muscle activity will eventually lead to displacement of the implant and a higher likelihood that you may need a revision. Hope this helps!

Hello,At 5 months, your capsules have matured. However, given the size of your implants, you will always have a higher risk for all complications, especially malposition. I think that you should consider doing other things unless pole fitness really is important. Best of luck!

You have paid your PS to provide soft properly placed appearance of your breasts. Forceful contractions of the pectoralis muscle has a high likelihood that the breast implants will eventually become displaced laterally (toward the armpit) and inferiorly (downward). It will overcome the support provided by textured implants. And since your implants are large, you are especially prone to this occurrence. 

I allow my patients to begin full activity including working out at 4 weeks.  I do however ask my patients to not isolate their pectoralis muscles in their workouts.At 5 months time, you should be fine and unlikely to cause any damage.  However, with extended pectoralis muscle exercises, your implants may eventually over time have lateral displacement.Hope that helps.

Dear Arile90,if your plastic surgeon allowed you to exercise, then it means that there were no complications and that you healed well. 5 months is enough for breasts to fully heal after breast augmentation. In my opinion, you should be safe if you decide to start with exercises. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

In uneventful healing, I will allow my patients to return to upper body workouts about 6 weeks following BAM.  Your best answer, however, will be provided by the PS who performed your surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question! At 5 months post breast augmentation, it is safe for you to resume all exercise activities, including upper body workouts. I recommend easing your way into any new or previously used exercise routines and listening to your body. Start slow, and work your way up from there. It is always best to discuss specific exercise restrictions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. I think it is fine for you to resume any workout 5 months post op. I would recommend you ease back into your exercise activity. You might want to go at 50% and increase from there. Best of luck

Thanks for reaching out! You are more than likely fine to do upper body work outs, but definitely check in with your surgeon if you have any fears or questions. He/She knows your case best and all patients heal at different rates. best of luck! Dr. Kachenmeister

can lead to displacement down and out... as I have seen it happen with body builders with submuscular implant.  So if you want to avoid that scenario, don't strengthen your chest muscles.  If you prefer your activities over what could happen, then engage in the activities that make you happy.
