How Long After 300cc Submuscular Breast Implants Can I Go Running?

Thank you for your question. You definitely want to follow your own surgeon's post-op activity instructions. This is a general guide I give to my patients:
1) No heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 6 weeks.
2) Resume walking at a leisurely pace right after surgery (e.g. 2 mph)
3) At 2 weeks, you can walk 2 miles at 2mph
4) At 3 weeks, you can walk 3 miles at 3mph
5) At 4 weeks, you can walk 4 miles at 4mph
6) At 5 weeks, you can jog 5 miles at 5mph
7) At 6 weeks, you can resume all activities, but listen to your body and use discomfort or tightness as a guide so you don't over do it.

Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can running and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

Generally I recommend casual walking after 1 week, walking for exercise at about 2 weeks[treadmill ok, elliptical not ok], and more strenuous exercise after 4-6 weeks.Every patient and every surgery is different, so your recovery may affect this timeline; and will be closely monitored by me for the first 6 weeks.

It is always best to follow the recommendation of your board certified plastic surgeon as to your exercise tolerance. Your surgeon will know about your tissues, how much he had to do with the pocket, etc. When you do get the OK, make sure to wear very good sports bras. Also ease into it. Don't run a marathon the first day. We see patients post op and let them know their limitations at their appointment. Running is usually about 8 weeks out. Please talk to your plastic surgeon and make a plan about your exercise tolerance.

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

Recovery varies from patient to patient following breast
augmentation surgery. We generally
recommend that patients avoid strenuous activities including running for at
least 6 weeks following surgery.

Running
in the immediate post-operative period has the potential to cause the breasts
to bottom out. The constant bouncing of
the implants within a freshly formed breast pocket can cause the pocket to
expand inferiorly. Capsule formation
acts to stabilize the implant pocket, but may take weeks to occur. In some cases, 2 weeks may be adequate while
longer periods may be necessary in other cases.

Physics
suggest that larger implants would be more likely to stretch the pocket and
skin while compressive support bras would minimize the phenomena.

If
you’re considering an early return to running, it’s important that you discuss
the issue with your plastic surgeon before proceeding. Your surgeon will have important information
regarding your situation and when it’s safe to resume this activity.

First of all, please check with your PS, as everyone's recommendation will vary slightly.  In my practice I recommend that runners wait 4 to 6 weeks after breast augmentation before resuming running.  Whether to wait four or six weeks will depend on how your are feeling and the size of the implants.  I also recommend that patients wear two sports bras when they resume running and "listen to their bodies."  If it still hurts, then give it a little more time and try a non-impact workout instead.  Good luck. 

Normally, I recommend patients start cardio and lower body training after three weeks, and that includes running. However, you should start off slowly and increase intensity.Remember to wear a very good sports bra on your runs.

The most important thing is to check withyour Board certified Plastic Surgeon to find out the specifics of their postoperative routine. I typically ask my patients to wait 3 weeks and I ask them to wear a special sports bra and an ace wrap for running until they are 6 weeks postop.

Typically, I restrict patients from any heavy lifting or strenuous activity for two weeks after breast augmentation surgery. I let patients slowly ease into their usual activities after these two weeks. Patients are allowed to start running after 4 weeks. Every plastic surgeon is different though in regards to post op activities. It would be best if you asked your plastic surgeon for their opinion in that they have the most knowledge about your particular situation.
