Exercising After A Breast Augmentation

If getting a breast lift or breast augmentation has been on your mind lately, one of the questions you may be asking yourself is “When can I get back to working out after undergoing a breast augmentation?” While there isn’t one definitive answer that is right for everyone, this will give you a general idea.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Breast Augmentation Recovery: First 2-3 weeks

After getting breast augmentation surgery, you can expect to have a 4-6 week window of recovery time. For the first week after surgery it is important that you do light activity to prevent any blood clots from forming. Light activity may include activities such as brisk walking that do not involve significant upper body movement. After 2 -3 weeks patients are encouraged to start walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike. Light activity such as these can be continued for the next 4-6 weeks.

Breast Augmentation Recovery: 4-6 Weeks

Cardiovascular workouts and weight training is allowed between 4-6 weeks after surgery.

It is recommended that when you start back at the gym, start with lighter weights and work your way back into shape gradually. Because a breast augmentation involves the breast tissue, underarm and chest muscles, these may be particularly sore when starting back at the gym. Listen to your body. If at any time you feel discomfort or pain, stop working out and give yourself a little more recovery time.
