Do I have to avoid push ups after Breast Augmentation?

That is not true.  You should be able to resume all activities after this surgery.  If that was the case, then we would NEVER do breast augmentation on any woman who goes to the gym or is a personal trainer!!   Hope this helps.  Good luck.Dr Vasisht 

That’s interesting that your surgeon advised you not to do pushups every again after your surgery. My patients are able to after their recovery, in about 6-8 weeks, and there are no restrictions in doing so once full recovery is completed. It’s true that there may be some implant distortion when flexing the chest muscles, but it’s more of an aesthetic concern that won’t permanently affect your implants.

Your PS is probably concerned about 2 things, the first being the implants could be displaced to the side if pectoral exercises are begun too soon after surgery before the pocket has a chance to stabilize.  The second issue is that you could see what is called an "animation deformity" in which the shape of the breast is changed when the pectoral muscle is contracted (but not seen when it is relaxed). I, too, often recommend that my patients who have sub pectoral implant placement avoid pectoral exercises postoperatively.  There is really no need to exercise the pectoral muscle since it is camouflaged by the breasts anyway.  However, if pectoral exercises are particularly important to you, consider discussing with your PS placing the implants above the muscle instead of below.  In that situation, you will likely need a textured implant rather than smooth to help offset the chances of developing scar tissue around the implant (capsular contracture).  While I largely agree with your PS, there are other options to consider.  Best of luck!
