At my practice, I advise my breast augmentation patients to wait until 3 months post-surgery. I would recommend asking your PS for his/her specific recommendations as it can vary from surgeon to surgeon.

After 4 weeks

I would wait at least 5 to 6 weeks, especially if your implant is under the muscle.

You should ask your plastic surgeon as he has his own protocol. Are the implants under the tissue or muscle? Do you have an axillary incision, or was there an inframmamary or umbilical approach? Consult with your postop directions and call your doctor.

I generally release patients to full exercise after three weeks. Other surgeons may have different timeframes depending on their technique.

Following a breast augmentation, you may need to wait as long as six weeks before returning to pole fitness.

I address each patient individually to monitor postoperative healing. But as a general rule, most of my patients can return to pole fitness in 6-8 weeks. You'll need to consult with your treating physician, as he will be in charge of your care and may have different directives based on your postoperative progress..

In my practice, I typically tell patients that at 6 weeks post-op they are free to resume all activity. Please refer to your board-certified plastic surgeon for specific post-op questions. I hope this is helpful!

Thank you for asking. Each PS has a different protocol but, in general, 6 weeks is considered safe for all activities as long as your surgeon doesn't impose restrictions after examining you. Best wishes.

I would say a minimum of 4 weeks, but 8 weeks is preferably. Check with your surgeon first, of course.

I would say one month. My rule of thumb is, if it hurts don't do it.

You need to wait at least 6 weeks until you begin any physical activity after breast augmentation surgery. This would include pole fitness since you would be using your arms and upper body. You do not want to take the chance of developing a hematoma or pulling the chest muscles. Walking is permitted after 4 weeks if you have not had any issues with healing, but stay away from any activity that will cause you to bounce up and down until after 6 weeks.

You should ask your plastic surgeon. I tell my patients about three to four weeks after their surgery.

Thank you for your question.

In general, I ask my patients to not perform any type of activity that involves the pectoralis muscle for many months after surgery to allow things to heal and implants to settle. This is a good question for your surgeon as he/she knows what procedure was performed and how your recovery is going.

Every surgeon has a different set of postoperative instructions that they adhere to, so it really would be determined by your surgeon and his or her techniques. For my patients, a month after surgery they are back to doing anything they were doing before the surgery. After the first week, they can start to exercise again; by the one-month mark, they can be doing all of their normal workouts. I hope this helps.

Activity after breast augmentation likely varies by plastic surgeon, though cardio can be resumed at 2 weeks, light exercises at 4, and then activities that involve chest exercises typically at 6 weeks after the pec muscle has relaxed. This includes yoga, push-ups, planks and pole. These parameters are related to a breast implant placed under the muscle and may not be applicable to a breast implant placed over the muscle, which has an easier recovery, though a 4-week limitation would be normal.

Typically, I recommend six weeks of no strenuous activity and upper body workouts such as pole fitness.
