Looking for advice on exercising / weight loss post breast uplift & augmentation. I’m a personal trainier and unsure when I can return back to normal following surgery? If I’m wanting to cut my weight down a few kg, will this make my boobs sag? Thanks
Answer: Recovery If you are intending to lose weight it is best to complete this prior to surgery. The reason is some women notice big changes in their breast size with weight fluctuation while others hardly notice any. Most women are able to return to a non physically demanding job a week or two after surgery. Strenuous workouts can resume after six weeks, though it's advised you proceed gradually. Visit my website or schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.

Answer: Breasts If your breasts became larger with weight gain, then lose what weight you want first. You can probably start back to work with verbally guiding your clients by one week. Full activities can be resumed by 6 weeks, except for heavy upper body strength like pushups and heavy lifting.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear Trustworthy323338, 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.

Answer: Bellesoma Method I recommend patients do not do any exercises using the pectoralis major muscle for 1 month after breast lift surgery. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in long term stability. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
