Exercising and Breast Implants
There is varying opinion as to when exercise should be resumed after
breast implants. While you should ask the surgeon who is performing your surgery, I can
tell you that in my practice, I encourage a rapid return to as much activity as
comfortable in the third week. The bleeding risk has passed by then and exercise should
encourage the pectoralis muscle to accommodate to the implant more rapidly.
Implants under the muscle are not usually a problem with actively
exercising people. While they will be able to perceptibly flatten the implants while
flexing without clothing, this is not usually visible in leotards and
T-shirts. I encourage pectoralis exercises. While it takes a bit longer for the implants
to drop into position, this leads to a thicker pectoralis muscle, which I believe helps to
hide the implant and give a more natural result.
