How much time needs to pass to be sure I wont split my incisions after my Breast Lift? I have an anchor-shaped incision. At 8 days post op, the doctor removed the steri strips because I had an allergic reaction and just reinforced it with dermibond. I have seen some terrible pictures on the Internet and am worried about returning to normal activities (like picking up a 25 lbs 2-year-old).

Answer: Minimum of a feww weeks are required Every surgeon is different, and has his or her own protocols for returning to activity after a breast lift. In general, I have my patients wait at least 4-6 weeks before resuming normal activites. At 4 weeks they can slowly work back into there routine and by 6 weeks they are usually cleared to resume their activities without restriction, although I recommend wearing a bra with good support whenever working out, lifting weights, running, etc.
