Can I Do Squats a Week After Surgery?

Every doctor has his/her own protocol for resuming activities following surgery.  You should consult your plastic surgeon for his/her answers to these questions.  In my practice, I allow my patients to resume non-strenuous activities whenever they feel up to it and more strenuous activities after three weeks.

Breast augmentation patients in my practice are asked to rest the chest wall four weeks after the operation. Squats are permissible provided there is no motion of the chest wall which would jostle the implants.
