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: 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.

Answer: Disobeying your doctor after BAM If you go to the gym, you know how much 10 pounds is- right?There are two concerns about lifting weights prematurely after a BAM, and the weights can be from the gym, your child, or any wight.The first is that you could stir up bleeding- that is, cause a hematoma that could necessitate an emergency operation.The second is that you could rip up the surgical site and damage your ultimate outcome.When you sign your consent you expect your doctor to do his part and in turn, you agree to do your part. Both work together to get a safe and optimum outcome. Surgery is serious business, and certainly you can wait a few more days. Having raised a child, I know that at two years of age, the child can climb onto you without you picking him up.Think about it. How much does a great outcome without complications mean to you?sek
