I had 375cc silicone unders 19 days ago. I am dying to get back to running & lifting. I've been walking w/ incline about 35 min a day & doing lower body weights. When is it safe to run & start doing upper body weights like tricep/bicep work. Not sure what weights to avoid to protect pecs and which are safe?
Answer: Upper Body Weights After Breast Implants Most plastic surgeons will recommend that you wait at least eight weeks before resuming any intense physical activity or heavy lifting, especially if it involves use of the pectoral muscle.

Answer: Working out after breast augmentation?
I usually have my patients wait 4-6 weeks before they start high impact exercise and weight lifting. Closer to 6 weeks than 4. When they resume weight lifting, I recommend they ease into it - so it's really 8 weeks before they are doing really strenuous workouts.
Remember....this is an emotional and financial commitment, and you really don't want to have complications.
I strongly recommend you ask your surgeon what he/she recommends.
Best of luck,
