What are some ab workouts I can do during my recovery from a Breast Lift and Implant ?

You should wait at least four weeks or so before you do any exercises. The issue is exercise raises your blood pressure too much, and this could cause complications. You should start off easily when you get back into it, so don't jump right back in to your former intensity. As always, you should ask your surgeon for their advice. You can start off with crunches.

I recommend my patients abstain from all vigorous exercise for at least 3-4 weeks then gradually return to normal workouts.  Your surgeon may have different recommendations, based on their own experience and the exact procedure you are having.  It is important to clarify their activity restrictions before returning to your workouts even if they are modified.

It’s essential to consult your surgeon before starting any workout routine post-surgery. Once you have approval, consider gentle exercises like pelvic tilts, leg slides, or walking to aid recovery. Avoid strenuous ab workouts initially and gradually incorporate them as advised by your healthcare professional.

In general, six to eight weeks of restricted activity is sufficient for recovery from breast implants and breast lifts. I often allow my patients to start cardiovascular routines such as stationary bicycle riding very soon after surgery. By eight weeks post-op you should be able to resume p90x although you may have to gradually get back to your regular work out level. However, only your surgeon can properly advise you regarding activities during the recovery as he/ she will be monitoring your progress! 

A lot of this has to do with the type of surgery that is being done, how extensive it is, what type and size of implants are being used, and what type of activity is being contemplated.  These are all things that your own surgeon will know and be best equipped to answer.  You need to have a very detailed and honest discussion with him or her about your plans, get his or her input, and follow those recommendations.  P90X is a very intense workout regimen, and you should definitely get clearance from your surgeon before attempting any of the exercises in that regimen postoperatively.  Good luck.

Brisk07,You really need to address this question to the surgeon who is doing procedure, as it is their technique that may impact the recovery time and time of return to limited then full activity.  The main risk after surgery of this type is potential for delayed bleeding due to elevated heart rate and BP, with the remainder of restriction aimed at limiting discomfort, which is often a matter of common sense.  I use a technique with a remote implant insertion (transaxillary approach), with the lift done via separate incisions on the breast. This approach allows complete submuscular placement without any muscle damage, and thus there is no muscle damage to increase pain, and no dependent breast incision to protect.  The lift itself does not add much discomfort, and does not change physical activity recovery time.  I then start the patients on post-op implant displacement massage on the first day post-op to facilitate relaxation of any muscle spasm contributing to most of the discomfort, and I restrict activity involving sports, exercise of any sort, and rough play for 2 weeks. At two weeks I allow all activity except high impact sports, like skiing, skateboarding, kickboxing, etc, and rapid inertial change, such as roller coasters or zip lines.   Patients are recommended to take ibuprofen 600-800mg every 6 hours for 5 days, and then little or no narcotic pills are needed for most.  This approach works because of the surgery approach, and will not be the same for every surgeon, so you still do need to discuss this with your surgeon to learn their protocols.  I hope that this helps.  Information on massage technique and theory follows at the link.
