Will I be able to practice advanced yoga after my breast augmentation? (Photo)

My best advice is to follow your surgeon's recovery plan. There will be several weeks of recovery time in which you do not want to put any extra stress on the body. In my practice, I recommend that my patients refrain from extreme physical exertion for 4-6 weeks following surgery. This allows time for the muscle to relax and the wound to heal. After that period, generally speaking, patients are able to return to their exercise routines.

I appreciate your question.I recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 6-8 weeks following surgery for my patients.  Please discuss with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for their patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you will be healing following surgery.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.Best of luck!

I agree with your surgeon that you will be able to return to your full workout routine. I tell my patients that three weeks after surgery it’s OK for them to do aerobic activity (treadmill, stationary bike, etc.), running and lower-body weight training. Women are usually comfortable doing arm exercises (upper-body weights) starting about six weeks after surgery. A couple of my patients are Triple Crown bodybuilders who start light training at 6 weeks. I advise them to take 2 weeks to get back to full lifting strength. Your inversions, push ups and pull ups won't harm your implants, and your implants won't affect your range of motion. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

Le agradezco su pregunta y imagenes.  I am also an Ashtanga practitioner and understand your concern to preserve upper body strength as well as to conform to the yoga aesthetic ideal.  The choice of a #MemoryShape textured anatomical cohesive gel implant is appropriate, if you desire a natural slope (transition between the clavicle and nipple), long term stability of the result, low rate of capsular contracture and decreased possibility of "lateralization" (= movement of the implant, upon flexion of the pectoralis major muscles).  Your breast shape and volume is attractive with minor asymmetry (left

Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Yes, you should be able to return to all types of exercise (even strenous) after breast augmentation; it may be longer than 6 weeks before you are able or should return to specific activities (especially those involving the pectoralis major muscle). Your plastic surgeon will guide you during your post op course.Best wishes.
