Breast Reduction and Lower Body Exercise?

User Avatar

I just had a breast reduction on Monday Feb. 18, 2013. Up until my surgery I was doing cardio and strength training exercises around 4x per week. I would like to remain active during my recovery without compromising my healing. Are there some lower body exercises that are safe to do and how long after surgery? How much time can be spent doing lower body exercises eg. 20 mins per day 3x per week?
