Doing a body pump class following breast augmentation?

Question

I had breast augmentation surgery 6 weeks ago with the implant being placed under the muscle. I normally attend 3 body pump classes per week and I would like some advice as to when I can start going to classes again please. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Perhaps these guidelines may help.You make take gentle walks within a few days following your #surgery. Light #activity may be started 7-10 days after surgery. You should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous #activity for six weeks. You may, however, do normal activities at any time if they cause no pain or discomfort. #Aerobic exercise such as running, will raise your blood pressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result.Let your body tell you what you can or cannot do. Once you begin #exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush it because it may require the full 6 weeks before you can do any upper body work-outs, yoga, etc.If you have concerns about your healing it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further.

Thank you for your question. I release my patients back to full unrestricted activity at 1 month post op. I would contact your PS and follow their advice. Best of luck

Each surgeon has their own post operative protocols and recommendations. I advise patients after 6 weeks it is okay to resume regular physical activity. You should ask your chosen surgeon. Regards,

Each surgeon has his or her own guidelines
regarding activity after surgery, so it's best to check with your own before
getting back to any sort of strenuous activity. In general, however, 6 weeks is
of recuperation is sufficient to heal before going back to the gym. I hope this
helped!

Your surgeon is in the best position to advise you on your suitability to resume vigorous activity.  Typically I advise patients to avoid heavy lifting for six weeks and then gently ease back into your regular activity.
