I usually allow patients to go back to rigorous exercise 6-8 weeks after surgery if everything has healed well. I would check with your doctor.

Your best resource is your your plastic surgeon; he/she knows exactly what operation was performed, how you are progressing, and is ultimately responsible for your care. Online consultants' advice may be confusing...

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

By six weeks, the sutured tissues have gained back 90% of the amount of strength that they will attain, so it is  a reasonable time to get back toward full activities.

	Warming up and slowly increasing activity over the next two weeks or so should leave your ready to play.

	Thanks for your question, and best wishes.
