I am six weeks post-op and used to do push-ups regularly. I love the definition in my arms from them. I have been cleared for exercise, but tried a push-up today. I had the strength, and felt fine on my way down. However, on my way up, it felt like the implants were moving out to my sides in a very strange way, also I felt pain in my nipples. Yikes! I was soo disappointed! Now, I'm afraid to try again in the future! Will there be a time when I could try again and this won't happen?

Answer: Discomfort during pushups after mommy makeover Six weeks after surgery, your body has generally healed to the extent that regular exercise can be resumed but it will take months for your body to return completely to normal. Most symptoms resolve over time but if they persist, discuss your concerns with your PS at your next follow-up appointment.

Answer: Pushups? Although you are 6 weeks out and healed you should back off when you have discomfort. I would recommend starting out with light weight dumbbells to exercise your arms and take it easy on the pectoralis (chest) muscles. This way you can start getting some exercise without straining your core muscles. Start with knee pushups when you give it another try and limit the number, most people take a while but get back to full strength. Good for you for staying fit!
