When can I lift weights again after breast lift and augmentation?

Return to Physical Activity/Exercise: Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for six weeks. You may, however, do normal activities at any time if they cause no pain or discomfort. Let your body tell you what you can or cannot do. Aerobic exercise will raise your blood pressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result.  Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!! It may require the full 6 weeks before you can do any upper body work-outs, yoga, etc.Make sure to check in with your surgeon for the best advice as to timing and your current stage in the healing process, and all should be well.

In uneventful healing, I will allow my patients to return to lifting weights in about 6 weeks following surgery.
