what restrictions are there as far as sport is concerned after breast augmentation with silicone implants(425-475cc range)? Can I jog, do yoga, use a skipping rope, swim? What should I be careful with? Im 40, little breast tissue, and the skin isn't getting younger. Thank you.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery The recovery from your procedure will depend on the specific technique used by your surgeon and the method of anesthesia used. Generally speaking implants placed above the muscle will have an easier post operative course as manipulation of the muscle is more painful than manipulation of the breast alone.As a general rule, I have my patients avoid lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk for the first few days. By post operative day 5 most woman are off all pain meds but may take something to help them sleep through the night. Massage is also begun on day five. By 7 days you can return to work depending on the needs of the job. At two weeks, you can begin lower extremity exercise and light cardio but no upper body strength exercises. 4-6 weeks you are allowed to begin upper body strengthening but will need to resume slowly.I would discuss your individual care with your surgeon as only they know the procedure performed and the issues that might be unique to your case.Good luck and I hope this was helpful

Answer: Implants-restrictions? Most patients are able to resume exercising after 3-4 week. I would recommend waiting 4-6 weeks before doing any heavy lifting. Keep in mind that
