Can I Workout 6 Hours Before my Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Thank you for your question. I would recommend resting prior to surgery since you will be tired and sore and working out depending on what you do could make your muscles further sore but you will up to it then you may.

Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

You will probably be quite woozy working out because you won't be able to eat or drink anything right before your surgery. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend it as you wouldn't want to compromise your surgery. However you should ask your surgeon as they may have different advice.

Would be tough to have a good workout without having anything to eat or drink but if you really wanted too you could, I know it would be tough for me to take a day off so I get it

There are no limitations on activity or exercise prior to breast augmentation surgery. It is important to follow pre-op instructions of your surgeon. In my practice, I use general anesthesia as well ans I ask my patients to have nothing to eat or drink after midnight and the morning of the surgery, which may cause you to feel dehydrated after working out. If you were my patient, I would probably ask you not to but ask your surgeon and see what he/she says.

Usually working out is good for us from a physical and psycological standpoint.  The issue is that working out, in general, will make you dehydrated.  This is particularly true if you "want to sweat!"  The dehydration can lead to fluctuations in your blood pressure, depending on the type of anesthesia used, and can cause more trouble with post op nausea. Therefore, my recomendation would be that you take it easy, relax, and take the day off from the gym. Hope this helps.

When you have specific questions about pre or post operative instructions you should contact your board certified plastic surgeon's office for clarification.  I perform breast augmentation under general anesthesia and my patients are required to not have anything to eat or drink beginning at midnight the night before surgery and a workout without being able to have water is not something I would recommend. Best  of luck!
