I had a breast augmentation 6 weeks ago. 440cc silicone under muscle. I am wondering when I can start doing yoga and/or a plank. I am worried about using so many chest muscles again and don't want to ruin anything!! Thanks!

Answer: Yoga/plank after breast augmentation? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. You are wise in "going slow” when it comes to returning to specific exercise/activity that involve the use of the pectoralis major muscle. Although your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to specific advice, I advise my patients to stay away from push-ups and benchpress etc for as long as possible ( even up to one year). In the longer term, of course you should be able to reschedule all forms of strenuous exercise without difficulty.Best wishes.

Answer: When can I start doing yoga after breast implants? After breast implant surgery, you should typically wait about 4 to 6 weeks before resuming yoga or any strenuous physical activity. However, the exact timeline can vary depending on the specifics of your surgery and your individual healing process. During the first few weeks post-surgery, it's crucial to avoid activities that involve raising your arms above your head, stretching the chest muscles, or putting pressure on the chest area, as these movements could disrupt the healing process. Gentle walking is usually encouraged to promote circulation, but anything more strenuous should be postponed. Before starting yoga or any other exercise routine, it's important to get approval from your plastic surgeon. They will assess your healing progress and advise you on when it's safe to resume specific activities.
