I typically tell my patients they may return to light cardio at 3 weeks and resume all activities (weights, yoga, strenuous exercise) at 6 weeks post op. For a half marathon I would instruct my patients to wait the full 6 weeks after surgery. Please discuss this further with your surgeon as each surgeon may have specific instructions and restrictions they would like you to abide by. Best of luck!
Hello and Great Question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Cosmetic Breast Augmentation Specialist.I typically recommend to my patients that they are released to all actives after 6 weeks as long as there has not been any complications. Of course you do have to listen to your body and be sure to wear a good supportive sports bra while you run.I hope that helps! Best of Luck!Matthew J.
