How long before you can ride a bicycle after breast implants?

It's a good question. It's always a good idea to check with your plastic surgeon for their exact advice after your surgery.In my office, I recommend that patients avoid heavy cardiovascular exercise for four weeks and avoid chest exercises for six weeks. If implants are placed under the muscle, then it's best to wait six weeks for activities that activate the chest muscles.

Hello,Thank you for your question. I typically advise my BBA patients to avoid cardio exercise for 3 weeks post op and upper body workouts or heavy lifting for 6 weeks post op.I recommend that you get your Plastic Surgeon to clear you for increased activity if you aren't sure.All the best

Discuss with your doctor.  I'd typically recommend waiting a couple of weeks before any heavy exercise, and maybe 4-6 weeks before any heavy chest muscular activities such as weight lifting.

Thank you for your question.  When it comes to post operative instructions,  it is always best to first consult with your operating surgeon as they are familiar with your recovery experience.  That being said, typically we advise our patients to wait a minimum of two weeks before engaging in in any activitiers that increase their heart rates.  Best regards,Dr. Lane F.

Thank you for your question. We ask that our patients refrain from riding a bile for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks there are no restrictions. All the best, 

I tell my breast augmentation patients that at 1-2 weeks after their procedure they may begin riding a bicycle.

I would permit use of an exercise bike a week or so after the procedure. Because of the danger of crashing on a road bike I would ask the patient refrain for at least four weeks after the operation.

Doctors may vary in the recommendationsand the restrictions may vary depending onthe technique utilize. In general I would advise4-6 weeks.

Hi and thanks for your question. This is something you have to discuss wit your plastic surgeon, it might depend on whether the implants were placed under or over the muscle. I usually recommend my patients to start light exercise like walking 4 weeks after the surgery and gradually increase it.Best wishes.Dr. Milla

HiIf my patients incisions are well healed then bike riding after 2 weeks is fine as it places no more stress on the wound than walking does. Make sure you wear a supportive sports type bra with no underwiring.Happy cycling
