My doc told me not to do any chest involving exercises such as push-ups, chest press, etc EVER because I will risk implant shifting out of place. I have saline under muscle. Another doc says YOU can excerise and that many athletic people, dancers for shows, body builers and so on have implants under the muscle and can still perform their regular exercises. Which is true?? Thanks

Answer: Exercise after breast augmentation I always advice six weeks no gym, excercices or heavy lifting after breast augmentation. If implants are over the muscle could be easier even after four weeks. When implants are sub muscular the muscles are stretched like if you pull a muscle in the gym and you will come out from the operating room with an injury to your pecs. This sort of muscular injuries take 6 to 8 weeks to heal.

Answer: Exercise after BA It is important that you not engage in strenuous activities in the first 6 weeks after surgery. Aerobic exercise will raise your bloodpressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. If your job keeps you sedentary, you may return to work when you feel comfortable, several days after surgery. Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!!You should ask your plastic surgeon about his recommendations for exercise after surgery. Every surgeon has different post op recommendations. I let my patients take gentle walks within a few days, light aerobic exercise in 2-3 weeks, and unrestricted exercise after 6 weeks.#breastaugmentation#BA#exerciseafterBA

Answer: Exercise after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. You definitely want to follow your own surgeon's post-op activity instructions. This is a general guide I give to my patients: 1) No heavy lifting or strenous activity for 6 weeks. 2) Resume walking at a leisurely pace right after surgery (e.g. 2 mph) 3) At 2 weeks, you can walk 2 miles at 2mph 4) At 3 weeks, you can walk 3 miles at 3mph 5) At 4 weeks, you can walk 4 miles at 4mph 6) At 5 weeks, you can jog 5 miles at 5mph 7) At 6 weeks, you can resume all activties, but listen to your body and use discomfort or tightness as a guide so you don't over do it.
