I am one night shy of 4 weeks post op ba/bl. This evening I threw a ball hard four times for the dog without thinking about it. Could I have hurt my recovery at all? There is no swelling.

Answer: Recovery after breast augmentation After breast implant surgery, I advise the patients to take one week off from work. At that point we take out their stitches and teach them the implant massage technique. We suggest 5 times per day with the massage and no bra for one month. The patients may return to work, but may not engage in any strenuous activity. At one month, the patients start to wear a soft cup bra with no underwire and can start low impact cardio. At two months they can wear an underwire bra and engage in more strenuous physical activity. Breast massage continues forever, although only once per day.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear plstcperfection,based on your description, it sounds like you did no harm so your final results should not be affected. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD
