Breath work exercise after simple explant?

Question

How long after doing a simple explant (local anaesthesia only) can I do breath/lung workout exercises for lung capacity and strength? Exercises targetted towards singers. I usually feel these exercises the most in my back and lower parts of my rib cage. But I imagine the pectoral muscles may get involved too. Thank you!

Deep breathing exercises are great from the start!  They help to expand the lungs and prevent PE.  Another great thing is early ambulation, meaning walk around a bit every few hours after surgery to keep good circulation.

Thank you for your question. Recovery times can vary, wait until your surgeon gives you a green light before resuming any strenuous activities, including breath and lung exercises. It is important to ensure that your body has healed sufficiently and that you're not experiencing any undue pain or discomfort. It is important to listen to your body and not rush the recovery process. If you experience any unusual pain or discomfort, consult your surgeon immediately.

Dear ashsnow,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

You should be able to go back to your breathing within a few days after just an explant since not muscles were disturbed.
