Is it safe to exercise using the Stairmaster? I want to get back into the gym ASAP! Stairmaster is my favorite machine!

I advise my patients to refrain from aerobic activity for 3 weeks and no lifting, pushing, pulling, or straining for 6 weeks following their breast augmentation surgery. I suggest you speak with your board certified plastic surgeon regarding your limitations following surgery. Good luck! 

I allow my patients to resume low impact aerobic exercise at three weeks after surgery.  This of course varies from patient to patient depending on how well they are recovering.  Most patients can resume all activities at six weeks post surgery.  You should check with your Plastic Surgeon as to when he/she feels you are safe to exercise.

Thank you for your question. Most patients are cleared to perform exercise and lifting > 10 pounds 4 - 6 weeks following breast augmentation. You may return to walking and light lifting sooner, but would not perform any strenuous activity without clearance from your surgeon. It is best to have an in-person follow up examination for recommendations regarding what you should and should not be doing. Good luck with your recovery.

Thank you for your question.  I recommend my patients return to regular physical activity at 3 weeks after breast implants.  However, prior to that time I encourage walking, but no heavy lifting or anything strenuous or vigorous for the first 3 weeks.  Always best to check with your plastic surgeon and follow their recommendations.  Best of luck to you!

I would absolutely suggest that you wait at least one month before doing any working out.  In theory, your working out your legs but what if you trip and fall?  These are accidents that can happen and jeopardize your results unnecessarily.  Follow your surgeon post operative instructions carefully and don't take any shortcuts.
