First off I would like to thank all the doctors for their amazing responses to all the patients concerns . It really helps put my nerves at ease. I am 3 weeks post surgery and healing great . II started walking on the treadmill on an incline at the gym but I want to do more . Before surgery I was working out intense and did a lot of jumping and weights. I know my doctor said no push ups , bench press, or any chest exercise but I forgot to ask about planks.
Answer: Breast Lift with Implants Hi Possibility,If you ask ten PS the same question, you will get ten answers! We do this procedure frequently, and have for almost 30 years. I believe things are healed up at three weeks, so if my patients have normal healing at that point, I tell them they can "Let it rip". So keep your surgeon in the loop, and be a good soldier and follow his/her orders to the letter, regardless of what you read on line. All the best, "Dr. Joe"

Answer: Breast Reduction Thanks for the question. After 6-8 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. So you can go bootcamp and wear sport bras after this period. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation and Exercise Recovery times following breast augmentation and breast lift surgery vary from patient to patient. These times are significantly impacted by the nature of the procedure, the patient's employment and the patient's social situation. It's important to realize that even though these procedures are for cosmetic purposes, they do have risks and the potential for complications. For this reason, premature return to normal activity can result in an increased incidence of complications.We generally recommend light activity for the first week following the procedure. After one week, patients are allowed to gradually resume normal non-strenuous activities. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting aren't allowed for at least 6 to 8 weeks in most cases. Bootcamp, burpees and planks would probably fall into this category. It's important to go slowly at first and listen to your body. At eight weeks, most patients are able to resume all of their normal activities.It's important to remember that every patient is unique. The specifics of their employment, exercise routine and surgical procedure will have a significant impact upon their recovery. Make sure you discuss this issue with your surgeon. Your surgeon's insights regarding your procedure will provide important information regarding when you can resume your exercise routine. Your breast procedure represents a significant investment. The best way to protect that investment is to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions.

Answer: Exercise after a breast augmentation Light activities are okay for the first 2 - 4 weeks and vigourous activities between week 6 and 8. Use your judgement about what exercises are appropriate and ask your plastic surgeon for his recommendations.
