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.

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.
