I work out and I'm in great shape. I got my implants 13 days ago. I'm actually at the gym right now as I have already been cleared/begged my ps to let me walk and do that stair master. I have a 2 year old who weighs about 30 lbs I've lifted him up a few times in desperation as he is at a hard age. Also during the day I lift and move stuff. I don't know how much 10 lbs is really. I just want to know how does it affect your healing?

Answer: 10 Lbs I wouldn't recommend heavy weight lifting for at least 6 weeks. I think 10 lbs is fine but if it is uncomfortable you need to stop. Definitely no weights or body weight exercises. In the end, just be patient and listen to your surgeon. You are not going to get out of shape in the next two weeks.

Answer: Lifting after Breast Implants I advise my breast implant patients not to lift heavy things after breast augmentation. I find that heavy lifting can sometimes lead to increased swelling which gives more risk for capsular contracture. Also I notice that pectoralis muscle work outs in patients with implants below the muscle can push the implants further apart so I advise against push ups bench press and butterfly exercises.
