What To Avoid After Breast Augmentation Surgery

By Dr. Asif Pirani

Many women turn to breast augmentation surgery as a solution if they are dissatisfied with the shape of their breasts. Feeling and looking beautiful is important for any person, but if you have just undergone breast augmentation surgery, you should be aware of what you can and cannot do post surgery to ensure that your recovery period allows for your body to heal successfully.

Your implants will take time to settle in, and the recovery process usually takes up to 3 months. As time passes, you will notice a change in your implants as they fall into position. You should continue wearing your surgical bra during both day and night for 2 weeks up to a month post your surgery.

Your bra size will be more accurate after at least a month after your breast augmentation surgery, so we would advise you to avoid going shopping for new bras until the healing period is over.

It may be tempting to continue with any exercise regime you may have had prior to surgery, but you should avoid any strenuous exercise and this includes any form of sexual activities as well for at least two weeks. After this time frame, you can start with low impact cardio exercises, and after six weeks have passed, you can resume your exercise regime as normal. As always, check with Dr. Pirani if you wish to start any physical activities after your breast augmentation surgery.
