When can I return to yoga after a breast augmentation placed under the muscle?

I usually recommend waiting for 6 weeks before performing upper body exercises. In your case of advanced Yoga , you may have to wait a little longer. Having said this, you should check with your surgeon.

Thanks for the question. After 6-8 weeks your surgery area will healed and yes you can doing yoga and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

Yoga can be quite vigorous, so you may need to wait 6 weeks after surgery. However, you should check with your surgeon.

Typically after breast augmentation I recommend the patient wait to be six weeks before they get back to the vigorous or strenuous physical activity. This can vary from patient to patient based on the operative experience (difficult vs easy). I would ask your plastic surgeon his/her opinions and recommendations regarding the matter

Dear Newfiegirl21, It would be best to check with your surgeon about their particular restrictions. In our practice we advise our patients to wait 6 weeks until resuming all activity, especially exercises that target the chest (such as some poses in yoga). Once you return to full activity, listen to your body. If you have discomfort doing a particular pose then I would hold off for a few more weeks before resuming it. Good luck!

Thank you for your question.  While every plastic surgeon has their own view on return to activities after breast augmentation, I prefer to get my patients back to their routines as soon as possible.  Generally, most women follow the following recovery schedule:- May drive in 2-3 days provided pain meds are no longer needed- Resume cardio workouts in 2 weeks-Resume lifting after 3 weeks.For yoga, I would recommend waiting for 3 weeks after a breast augment.  I would suggest checking with your plastic surgeon for his/her specific recommendations.Best of luck with your continues recovery.Jeff Rockmore 

Each surgeon has his or her guidelines for postoperative care. Typically, light exercise is started after 2 to 3 weeks. With more strenuous activity phased in as you heal. Consult with your surgeon as he or she knows the scope of the surgery and the specifics about you.

Generally, one should wait at least 6 weeks after breast augmentation surgery to resume yoga, particularly if the implants are under the muscle.there are many poses that require you to use your chest muscles for balance and/or strength exercises. In addition, stretching could place undue tension on the skin closure and cause it to reopen.Check with your plastic surgeon. Remember to take the time to heal sufficiently...you have the rest of your life to enjoy your new look.

Usually I allow patients to go back to light aerobics at 3-4 weeks and heavy lifting by 6-8 weeks. Yoga can be quite vigorous so you may need to wait 6 weeks for Downward dog, chaturanga, etc.. Best to ask your surgeon. Namaste!

It seems to me that you do a lot with your arms and breast in your Yoga sessions.I would recommend you to wait at least 2 month to get your regular routine. Remember implants need to do their folding that depends on the muscle relaxation.
