Swelling after exercise? 7 weeks post breast reduction

April 26, 2018
Asked By:ek4444 in Vancouver, BC

I had a breast reduction 7 weeks ago. My doctor has given me the okay to return to normal exercise (including running/lifting), but every time I exercise (even low impact & lower body workouts) my breasts seem to swell and the scars get more red. I don't want to delay the healing process at all. Is it too soon to be doing exercise??
