I am 1 week post op 365cc HP silicone! I am usually very active but have been taking it easy to recover! I would like to get back to the gym asap (as soon as my PS gives me the green light) the stair master is my cardio machine of choice! I usually do 30 minutes at level 7/8! Is it safe to use the stair master? If so, what level should I begin at? Is it okay to hold on the the side bars for balance? I don't want to displace my implants.
Answer: Activity after breast augmentation surgery 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!

Answer: Exercise I would suggest that you speak with your surgeon about what specific exercises you can do now. I suggest to my patients to do only light walking for the first few weeks. At 6 weeks, most women can safely do any activity they choose.

Answer: Resume Exercise after Breast Augmentation 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.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Post Op 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.

Answer: Is it safe to exercise using the Stairmaster? I want to get back into the gym ASAP! Stairmaster is my favorite machine! Of course it is most important that you follow the specific advice of your plastic surgeon. Most patients are able to return to most normal activity by 3 weeks after breast augmentation. However very vigorous physical activity including pushups, weight lifting and significant use of the upper body should not be done until 6 weeks after submuscular breast augmentation. He certainly can be up, active and do lower body exercises after the first 2 weeks but I would not crank up your stairmaster to full until your plastic surgeon agrees that it is time.
