FIND OUT WHEN AND HOW TO RESUME EXERCISE AFTER BREAST SURGERY AT COSMETIC SURGERY INSTITUTE, SERVING PALM DESERT, INDIO, AND THE LOS ANGELES AREA

Breast augmentation involves the placement of implants such as traditional types of silicone implants or gummy bear implants in the breasts. Alternatively, fat grafting or fat transfer—which some people also call “breast fat injection” and believe provides a more natural breast enhancement—can also be used to alter the size and shape of breasts. With this in mind, you may be asking: When can I resume workouts after breast augmentation? Palm Desert’s Cosmetic Surgery Institute—serving patients from Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, and the greater Los Angeles area—knows that this is one of the main things many patients are concerned about when they’re undergoing breast enhancement surgery. If you’re having breast surgery and are concerned about workouts after breast augmentation, it’s best to discuss any sports or exercise you plan to do with us during your consultation. Your plans for workouts after breast augmentation can affect your decisions on sizing and implant placement.

When Can You Go Back to Doing Workouts After Breast Augmentation?

One of the most common questions patients have for us when they’re having breast surgery is, “How long will it be until I can do workouts after breast augmentation?” Patients are often looking forward to when they will be able to resume working out after breast augmentation, especially if they are accustomed to being very active. Breast augmentation won’t prevent you from having an active lifestyle, but always wait until you’ve fully recovered before doing workouts after breast augmentation, talk to your surgeon if you plan to start any activity, and wear a supportive bra.

It’s recommended that you go for short walks right after you have had breast surgery as light walking helps to boost circulation and prevent blood clots. However, strenuous exercise is one of the things to avoid after breast augmentation for several weeks. Patients will usually be able resume all workouts after breast augmentation—including strenuous or intense exercises, cardio, and heavy lifting—within four to six weeks once they are completely healed, but it is important to consult with your surgeon to be sure. It’s also important to resume exercise gradually and take a break from any exercise that is causing you swelling or discomfort.

Workouts After Breast Augmentation: Which Exercises Should You Avoid After Breast Implants?

Sometimes, we may recommend that you avoid certain types of workouts after breast augmentation or post-breast augmentation exercises, such as strenuous chest exercises or upper body workouts after breast augmentation, especially if you have had breast augmentation with implants that are placed under the muscle. Avoid push-ups and pull ups. You won’t want to overly stress or overuse the pectoral muscles.

Contact us if you would like more advice about breast enhancement recovery, recovery time for breast implant removal, breast augmentation aftercare, breast enhancement cost, or breast enlargement scars.

We can explain more about what to expect before and after breast lift or breast augmentation operation, including how under-the-muscle implant recovery or submuscular implant recovery compares to over-the-muscle implant recovery, what is normal swelling or  bruising after breast augmentation, other aspects of breast implant aftercare, and the factors that will affect how much breast implants may cost, including implant shape, type, and more.

Workouts After Breast Augmentation: When Can I Drive After Breast Augmentation?

In addition to workouts after breast augmentation, patients might also have questions about other factors such as sleeping after breast augmentation and driving after breast augmentation. You will need to ask your surgeon when it’s okay to drive again. Try to sleep in a reclined position. It’s recommended that you sleep on your back with your head and shoulders raised with a pillow to prevent your implants from slipping or shifting. You will need to avoid moving your arms too much after breast augmentation or lifting them above shoulder level.

Workouts After Breast Augmentation: Which Other Cosmetic Procedures Are Offered to Enhance Your Body Shape?

Aside from breast augmentation, there are also other procedures offered by Cosmetic Surgery Institute, such as tummy tuck, liposuction, and Brazilian butt lift that can complement the results of breast implants, a breast lift, or other types of breast surgery.
