What is the weight limit that I can carry after breast augmentation surgery?

I ask my patients to wait at least three weeks before any heavy lifting.  If they need to lift a baby during the first three weeks, I ask them to keep their elbows at their side to that they are not stretching their pectoralis major muscle.

Thank you for the question. Probably in your best interest to wait several more months before proceeding with surgery, unless you have more help available to you. I ask patients to wait 4 to 6 weeks before lifting more than 10 pounds. Also, best to be at your long-term stable weight (if you are not there already) prior to proceeding. Best wishes.
