What About Exercise and Supplements After Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for your question. It is nice to hear that you have had a good experience so far following breast augmentation. Many surgeons vary in their guidelines for activity or exercise following surgery. For my patients, I typically start early motion with stretching exercises immediately following surgery. For the first 10 days, I want them to avoid any aerobic exercise, since this can increase the risk of bleeding , swelling and bruising. I then permit low impact exercises, like spinning, for the next 10 days, and full activity based on their comfort at 3 weeks. I also advise my patients to avoid heavy pectoralis exercises for 6 months ( like push ups and bench presses ) since this can cause lateral displacement of the implants. 

Regarding supplements, I generally advise my patients to resume all medications and supplements the day following surgery. Of course, you should always check with your surgeon since their guidelines may differ. Good luck.

 Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure; based on your description, you seem to be doing very well.

Always best to check with your own plastic surgeon prior to resuming exercise and or supplements. He/she will know exactly what operation was performed, how you are progressing, and is ultimately responsible for your care.

 Generally, most patients are able to resume lower body exercise and/or stationary bicycle exercise at your stage of recovery.   Upper body exercise/lifting usually resumes 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively. Assuming the “dietary supplement” is safe in general, resumption is usually not a problem either.

 Again, best to check with your plastic surgeon for more precise/relevant advice.

Best wishes.
