I just had my third Capsulectomy and of course the doctor doesn't want me to work out for three weeks which I'm fine with. I train 6 to 7 days a week pretty hard and I'm wondering if that contributes to contracture. Especially of course chest work .. if it does I will really be careful about not over training my chest in the future..

Answer: Workout and capsular contracture Thanks for your question. Capsular contracture is not completely understood but exercise is not felt to be one of the causes. However, if your surgeon feels you should avoid exercise for a set amount of time I would recommend following their advice. They are in the best position to assess your healing progress.

Answer: Does working out hard create capsular contraction? Thank you for your question. Generally speaking working out with contraction of the pectoral muscles should reduce the chance of capsular contracture and help keep the normal capsule around the implant large and distended so that the implant can freely move. However vigorous workouts early after surgery in the first 4-6 weeks, if they cause bleeding, can increase the chance of a recurrent capsule. Please follow the specific advice of your plastic surgeon.
