Upper Body Weights After 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.

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,
