How soon can you run a 1/2 marathon after breast augmentation?

Thanks for your question...Every surgeon has different post op protocol so please follow what your surgeon has said. I tell may patient's they can resume normal activity (including running) after 6 weeks post op, they just should wear a good support bra with the new added weights to their breasts. You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

Hi Dragon676,
It is important to let the body heal properly and fully after a major surgery like a breast augmentation. Usually patients can resume full intensity activities in their lower and upper body after six weeks. Most importantly, listen to your body and be patient with yourself as each person's recovery process is different.
I would recommend speaking to your plastic surgery if you have further concerns or questions regarding your recovery process post BA.

Good luck to you.

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!
