How much can you safely lift after breast augmentation surgery?

Asked By:Cariiinnyyy in Scottsdale, Arizona

Hi there, I’m a single mom with an 18-month-old who weighs about 28 lbs. I have scheduled my breast augmentation surgery for this October. I’ll have assistance for the first two weeks post-op, but after that, it will be just me and my son. Can you advise if it’s safe to lift him after two weeks, and any tips on how to safely lift a toddler following surgery? Thank you!
