When Can I Start Exercising
After Breast Augmentation?

Moderate movement (slow walking) is recommended on the second day following your breast surgery. Patients should avoid aerobic exercise for a full two weeks after surgery. Unrestricted exercise (weight-lifting, sports, aerobics) can be resumed after three weeks.

After your surgery, Philadelphia plastic surgeon Dr. David Bottger will give you detailed instructions regarding your follow-up care. These instructions will include a detailed explanation of appropriate post-surgery exercise regimen.

It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure a proper recovery.
