Dr. Chen Lu
After breast augmentation surgery, patients require a recovery period to ensure the stability of the breast tissue and implants. Generally, for 4-6 weeks post-surgery, and in some cases even up to 2-3 months, patients should avoid engaging in high-intensity physical activities such as running, weightlifting, basketball, and other strenuous exercises, as these may adversely affect the surgical outcome and recovery process.
Four to six weeks after surgery, sometimes even longer, patients may gradually resume mild to moderate physical activities. The specific recovery timeline and intensity of activity should be determined based on individual healing progress and the physician's specific instructions.
