Hi there. I'm a 38 y. o. athletic woman. I'm 5,54 ft and 114 pounds. I workout 6 days a week, crossfit and ashtanga yoga with lots of inversions, push ups, pull ups... In July I'm getting my surgery: Mentor silicone teardrop implants, between 320 and 350 cc crease incission and dual plane. My surgeon has reassured me I won't have any problem to come back to my workout routine after the recovering period, but I'm worried the implants might affect my range of movements. What do you think?

Answer: Yoga and crossfit after breast implants 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."

Answer: Yogini breasts are generally beautiful Bs 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
