I Am 9 Weeks Post Op Breast Lift and Aug With Grade 3 CC, Can I Exercise with Weights?

May 13, 2013
Asked By:Tessylou

I have had grade 3 Capsular Contracture since 3 weeks or sooner. (saline implants, sub-muscular) I have a follow up at 12 weeks for possible capsulotomy/ectomy? I have put on over 5lbs since surgery due to lack of exercise and am dying to hit the gym again. I have only been walking or lightly jogging with very good sports bras doubled up. I am wondering what the consensus is on using weights, and doing push-ups and pull-ups at this stage.
