Can you exercise after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery is a common plastic surgery. Breast implants can be implanted to change the shape and size of the breast. Many women want to increase the fullness of their breasts through breast augmentation surgery, but they are worried about the impact on daily life after the surgery, especially the restrictions on sports. In the following aspects, we will elaborate on whether to exercise after breast augmentation surgery.
convalescence
After breast augmentation surgery, the body needs some time to recover. Generally, the first month after the operation is the recovery period, during which strenuous exercise should be avoided. Postoperative breast needs time to heal and adapt to implants. Premature intense exercise may bring unnecessary pressure to the breast, and even affect the postoperative recovery effect. Therefore, during the recovery period, it is recommended to avoid high-intensity activities such as jumping, jogging and weight lifting.
However, this does not mean that no movement can be carried out at all. During the recovery period, some low-intensity exercises can be carried out, such as walking, yoga, plank support, etc. These activities can help to enhance the metabolic function of the body, alleviate the discomfort caused by staying in bed for a long time during the operation, and also help to exercise muscles during the recovery period.
After recovery period
When the recovery period has passed, the exercise intensity can be gradually increased. But before starting, it is better to carry out physical examination and assessment under the guidance of the surgeon to ensure that the body has fully recovered and can withstand greater exercise load.
Before high-intensity exercise, you can start with aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. These exercises can help improve the heart and lung function, enhance the metabolic capacity of the body, and at the same time, the pressure on the breast is relatively small.
In addition to aerobic exercise, some local muscle training can also be carried out, such as dumbbell exercise, push ups, etc. These exercises can help shape the chest line, enhance the strength of the pectoral muscles, and thus improve the shape and support of the breast.
Chest protection
Although some exercises can be performed, it is still necessary to protect the chest to avoid accidental injury to the surgical site. During high-intensity exercise, appropriate sports underwear should be selected to provide support and protection for key parts and reduce breast vibration and friction.
In addition, during exercise, attention should be paid to avoid overstretching or compressing the chest, and to avoid the breast being stuck or extra squeezed. If discomfort or pain occurs during exercise, stop exercise immediately and consult a doctor for advice.
summary
In general, exercise can be carried out after breast augmentation surgery, but the intensity and mode of exercise should be determined according to individual conditions and recovery degree. During the recovery period, it is necessary to avoid high-intensity exercise, especially exercise with greater pressure on the breast; After the recovery period, the exercise intensity can be gradually increased, but the chest should be protected to avoid additional injuries. It is best to consult your doctor before exercising, and carry out targeted exercise according to the doctor's suggestions. Only reasonable exercise can ensure the healthy recovery of breast and achieve the expected plastic effect.
