After mammoplasty, for the healing period postoperative sutures, the patient should rule out severe physical exercise and sports.

Failure to follow this rule can lead to serious complications.

Physical activity and exercise should be introduced gradually and not give the patient abrupt pain.

The dangers of early loading

Premature intensive loads on the upper body after mammoplasty threaten the formation of a rough scar. This is due to the fact that an unformed scar under external pressure on the tissue can stretch.

Excessive activity in the first weeks after surgery can lead to displacement of the implant. As a result, a new surgical intervention will be required.

Lift weights and perform physical exercise aimed at shoulder girdle, it is impossible for two months, as this threatens to drop the implant out of the pocket, which will lead to breast asymmetry and repeated surgical intervention.

Premature physical activity threatens such complications as seroma.

It is a yellowish, slightly viscous liquid that accumulates between mammary gland and an implant.

In this case, it is necessary to take antibiotics in a timely manner. In some cases, the implant may need to be removed.

Why exclude physical activity

Sports after mammoplasty threatens to open bleeding.

This is one of the main reasons why heavy physical activity is excluded in the first months.

Excessive bleeding leads to the accumulation of a blood clot in the cavity of the pocket. Large hematomas are formed, which can serve as the beginning of a suppurative process.

Performing exercises in the early stages can also lead to divergence of the seams.

After the seams are tightened, the nerve endings will gradually wake up, and the muscles will tone up, physical exercises are allowed.

When can I exercise after mammoplasty?

The rehabilitation period after mammoplasty is from three to six months.

At this time it is not allowed:

• performance of heavy physical activity;
• bodybuilding training;
• running, dancing;
• strength exercises (push-ups, lifting with a barbell).

You can return to serious activities only six months after the operation.

After three months, the doctor may allow classes athletics and running. It is very important not to overload the shoulder girdle with active exercises until the three-month period.

You can start exercising in the gym only after consulting with plastic surgeon who performed the operation, since the timing of the return to physical activity is purely individual and depends on the physiology, as well as the speed of the recovery process after surgical intervention.

The main factors affecting the duration of the rehabilitation process include:

• the size and shape of the implant;
• breast density;
• surgical technique and method of implant placement.

At large sizes implant, the time to return to sports can increase significantly.

It also depends on the method of placing the implant, which exercises can and should be done for the first time, and which should be excluded.

For example, the location of the implant under the muscle requires the elimination of full physical activity on the shoulder girdle for up to six weeks.

Return to sport procedure

1. The first three days the patient needs complete rest and bed rest.
2. After this period, you can get up and take short walks.
3. In the first two weeks, only walking is allowed. Then you can perform exercises not related to the load on the shoulder girdle.
4. Start physical exercises with small loads, which gradually increase.
5. After three or four weeks the patient is allowed to do some light exercise. From this point on, you can gradually increase the duration of classes.
6. After two months, it is allowed to engage in many physical activities. During this period, jogging and aerobics are included, but only after consulting a doctor.

When implants are placed under the muscle, it is advisable to wait up to 1.5 months to perform exercises.

Failure to comply with this rule can lead to the loss of the implant, which has not yet had time to fix.

What can be done after surgery

After the operation for women, the rehabilitation period begins.

The process of engraftment of the implant, its strong fixation to the tissue and the formation of a new breast with augmentation mammoplasty takes place within six weeks.

In the first three weeks, physical activity on the shoulder girdle is completely excluded so as not to interfere with the fixation of the implant.

Only short walks are possible.

Lifting even minor weights is strictly prohibited.

In the second three weeks, a woman can raise her hands up. The development of the shoulder girdle is performed by the exercise "cheerful little man".

Using two fingers, the hand walks slowly up the back. Thanks to this gymnastics, a smooth and safe development of the shoulder girdle is achieved.

After four weeks, short distance swimming is allowed. You can gradually start classes with dumbbells weighing no more than 2 kg.

Three months later:

• do stretching;
• download the press;
• raise your arms above your shoulders.

Push-ups, chest presses and stretching of the pectoral muscles can be performed after six months, after consultation with your doctor.

Do such complex species sports like kickboxing, tennis or climbing can only be done after 6-12 months.

This is influenced by factors such as physiological features patients and implant size.

Stress on pectoral muscles should be introduced gradually. The first exercises with dumbbells are best done from a supine position. Push-ups should be done from the knees for the first time.

Doing moderate exercise after breast surgery is a prerequisite.

Sports are especially important after mammoplasty under the muscle: exercises with a load on the shoulder girdle will help to avoid rough scarring, which limits mobility.

All types of exercise must be done in compression underwear for up to six weeks, and then a sports bra.

Does the shape and size of the implant affect the choice of exercises

Patients involved in athletics and running should avoid large implants. big breasts will interfere with full-fledged training and classes.

Round implants allow you to do push-ups from the wall already after three weeks after mammoplasty.

This exercise allows you to take the breast more natural forms. In this case, the clenching of the palms in front of chest with elbows out to the side.

Teardrop implants require special care when accessing under the breast.

In this case, after 2-3 weeks, it is necessary to perform triceps exercises.

How to ensure optimal conditions during the rehabilitation period

IN rehabilitation period after mammoplasty, wearing compression underwear is prescribed. This will avoid complications such as implant displacement, the formation of rough sutures and other complications.

The first six weeks it is not removed. Then it is worn only at night.

A month later, it is possible to wear a bra without pits, after three - with pits.

• Seams must be processed antiseptics and sealed with silicone adhesive. Do not apply anti-scar cream during the healing period.
• The first month after mammoplasty, the patient is allowed to sleep exclusively on her back. After two months, you can sleep on your side, and after three months you can lie on your stomach.
• You can not make sudden movements and wave your arms for the first three weeks after mammoplasty.
• You can return to driving a car after 2 weeks, provided that the belt is not used. Fastening is possible only after two months. The belt will squeeze the mammary gland, and this, in turn, threatens with serious complications.
• The first four weeks it is recommended to refrain from sex, as this will lead to blood flow to the mammary glands, which is highly undesirable for the first time after the operation.
• You can not visit the sauna and solarium for three months.
• Within six months, it is contraindicated to visit the beaches for the purpose of sunbathing. After that, the scars are covered with a plaster to avoid pigmentation of the scars.
• When using smooth implants after surgery on the seventh day, it is necessary to do light massage chest. This will help prevent the formation of fibrous capsular contracture, which requires surgical intervention.

Prevention of complications

To avoid complications after surgery, you should start physical exercises and loads not earlier than recommended by the doctor.

Classes are held for up to six weeks exclusively in compression underwear. Then the exercise can be continued in a sports bra.

FAQ

Is it worth it to continue exercising if pain appears?

During exercise, especially early dates After surgery, the patient may experience pain. This is due to the fact that the muscles have not yet come to the proper tone. You can continue classes.

In this case, you need to give up for some time exercises that cause pain, or reduce their intensity.

If the patient experiences excessive discomfort and sharp pain, it is better to completely abandon training for a certain period and see a doctor.

What causes chest discomfort during exercise?

After mammoplasty, especially with the method of access under the muscle, there are pronounced pains and feelings of tightness in the chest.

During the first 2-3 weeks, this is a completely normal process. The feeling of discomfort is primarily characteristic if a larger implant is inserted.

To form an implant, the surgeon needs to separate the large muscle of the chest, under which it is inserted. He begins to put pressure on the surrounding organs, as there is still not enough space for him there.

There is a gradual adaptation and stretching of the tissues.

Over time, the feeling of discomfort disappears and you can return to full physical activity.

The appearance of any discomfort requires consultation with a doctor.

By enlarging the breast, restoring its former elasticity, women receive a new impetus for self-care. One of its elements is physical activity. But what should be the sport after mammoplasty? Everyone understands that it is necessary to move. And yet there are some nuances here.

The operation of mammoplasty is completed by suturing the skin. In the course of it, deeper tissues are also damaged. They should drag on in such a way that the result is desirable and predictable, and the state of health is normal. This will happen only with the right approach to the rehabilitation period, part of which is dosed and timely physical activity. It is immediately limited, because if the condition is not met, problems will not be kept waiting:

Possible complications in the absence of restrictions in physical activity	The results of violation of the regime
internal bleeding	Until the tissues have grown together, the implant has not adhered to the muscle, the vessels are easily damaged. This threatens with the accumulation of blood in the internal space, the formation of hematomas. A woman is waiting for a longer healing, and possibly the development of a purulent process. This is a reason to remove the implants, long-term treatment and new operation
Divergence of seams	The edges of the wounds are fastened with threads. But suture material needed to allow tissue to heal. The scar must be formed from living cells. Until they are formed, the edges of the wounds easily move away from each other.
Increased pain sensations	This is an inevitable accompaniment of the postoperative period, since the muscles, skin and blood vessels were damaged. Physical activity will lead to fluctuations in the injured areas, that is, irritation of pain receptors, increase and acceleration of the transmission of impulses to the brain
Displacement of implants	Their installation in the chest should be complemented by the formation around connective tissue, the germination of its particles in a porous surface or fitting a smooth one. This will only happen over time. Until addiction is over, active training after mammoplasty can lead to a change in the location of endoprostheses, asymmetry of the mammary glands
Capsular contracture	This is a complication that forces the removal of implants. Early stress on the injured area of ​​the body leads to inflammation around them. The formation of connective tissue is more intense, but wrong. A thick layer is formed painful, compaction and deformation of the implant
The appearance of hypertrophic or even keloid scars	Premature physical activity or a load that does not correspond to the period provoke increased blood supply to the edges of the wound, cell division. Because of this, instead of a neat seam, a thick and rough scar is formed, which then requires correction.

Optimal time after surgery

A more or less serious load should not be present in a woman's life earlier than from the day operation will take place 3 months. But even after their expiration, intensive exercises on the shoulder girdle should be avoided. And in other cases, you can’t do it until six months. The terms depend on the characteristics of the rehabilitation period, as well as on:

• The size and shape of the endoprosthesis. The smaller it is, the faster the body adapts to it, respectively, and healing.

• Density of the mammary gland. If there are few own tissues, it is very important that the implant is firmly fixed inside. And in this case this process will be slower than at high density.

• Implant implementation methods. If it is placed under the muscle, which is now most often done in such operations, it will be damaged. Consequently, the healing will take longer than when the endoprosthesis is placed under the mammary gland.

• The patient's age and general health. Young people who do not have problems with other organs, as a rule, heal faster. So a return to normal life, including physical activity, will be earlier than in older patients.

In a word, when it is possible to play sports after mammoplasty, in each case it should be decided individually and with a doctor. Shortest term, in which it is allowed to start loading muscles - 3 months. And serious classes are unacceptable earlier than six months from the operation.

How to enter loads correctly

The ban on increased sports after mammoplasty should not be taken as an indication to strive for complete rest. This is also fraught with problems. Tissue regeneration is completely impossible without movement. But the load should be gradual, not deliver severe pain. How to do it:

• The first 3 days are shown bed rest and the maximum possible lack of movement. This time is allotted for adaptation from anesthesia, the fight against pain.

• Then you just need to start walking, each time increasing the distance and duration of walks. They should be short, not tedious.

• After 3 weeks, you can do light exercises that do not affect the upper body, especially the shoulder and chest areas. This will speed up blood circulation, which means healing. If the endoprosthesis was placed through the incision under the arm, you can slowly begin to raise your arms, doing it smoothly and not trying to move them too high.

• From the 4th - 5th week, it is allowed to develop the operated area and the area adjacent to it. It will help in this slow raising and lowering the hands up using the wall. If you “walk” along it with your index and middle fingers, the load will be just what is needed at this stage.

A set of exercises after breast correction. You must coordinate its implementation with the surgeon.

• After one and a half or two months (if the implant is placed under the muscle), it is allowed to load the body with swimming and lifting 2-kilogram dumbbells. You can train in the water for a short time, exercises with small weights should also not be exhausted. It is worth starting to do them from a lying position.

• After 3 months, fitness after mammoplasty is allowed more serious. These are stretching exercises, strengthening the press, back.

• Six months after the intervention, if the attending physician does not mind, you can give a more intense load. It is allowed to do push-ups (having adapted the wall, then the bench, then only the floor), exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles of the chest, shoulder girdle.

It should be borne in mind that hand movements can cause discomfort, be painful. This is normal, but it is important not to overdo it until it becomes unbearable. To protect yourself from pain and risks of displacement of the implant, operated tissues, you should practice in a compression bra for up to 6-8 weeks, and then change it to a sports bra.

Exercises to Avoid

Exercise after mammoplasty is not all useful. There are among them those that in this period will bring not health, but problems. The main thing that is now undesirable is sweeping arm movements, a large load on the chest muscles. Therefore, at least the following six months after the operation are prohibited:

• Body-building. Sport, not alien to the beautiful half of humanity, consists of a heavy load, lifting a lot of weight. Now this is unacceptable.

• Run. It seems that this is an easy task, especially if you prefer short distances. In fact, the chest during running suffers significant vibrations, which will cause pain and push the displacement of prostheses that have not yet been fixed and damaged tissues. The larger its size, the longer the period in which you have to do without jogging.

• Dancing. And this deceptively easy and enjoyable activity is actually a high load, and even on the upper half of the body. Some dances require sudden movements, which is still unacceptable.

• Strength exercises. Arm wrestling, lifting the barbell, hanging on the bar, uneven bars are contraindicated for the time being. And at the end of the six-month period, they need to resume classes only with the permission of the doctor.

• Game sports. Volleyball, basketball, tennis require sharp and fast movements, including hands. And besides, during these activities, collisions with other players or the ball are not ruled out.

• Any kind of martial arts. Contact sports combine everything that is undesirable at this stage of rehabilitation.

Training after breast augmentation should be adjusted, even if the girl has been friends with sports all her life. After all top part her body has gone through big changes that will force the muscles to work differently. The main feature is that now there is no need to pump up the area above the mammary glands, it is enough to keep it in good shape.

For me, this was a sore subject, because, leading an active lifestyle before the operation, where sports were especially important role, sitting idle for a whole month was comparable to torture. The gym beckoned me in my dreams with iron and a treadmill, and boxing gloves lay sadly on the shelf, covered with a thin layer of dust, each time reminding me of the “triple” and the “postman”. But, without looking at the awl at the fifth point and the eternal desire for an ideal body, I did not succumb to temptations and clearly withstood a month-long pause from training.

And even after receiving a "go-ahead" for the long-awaited training from Mr. Mechkovsky, I did not rush into all serious, but very smoothly entered my usual sports regimen.
The resumption of training began with the pool. And if earlier I swam 1200 meters in an hour, then after the operation the distance was reduced by 2.5 times. Feel the difference! I’ll be honest, but I didn’t want to go faster, it seemed to me that I felt every muscle ... Of course, with each subsequent workout, I increased the pace and after 3 months I reached my norm.

Then there was Gym and all exercises under clear guidance my coach, with whom we have been together for a long time and he was preparing for my arrival by writing an individual program for me, excluding any load on the chest and shoulder muscles. But you should understand that even with the coolest super-duper light program and the most cautious attitude, you need to listen to your body. Only by feeling you can adequately assess and choose the severity and pace of the load.

The resumption of training in the boxing gym was at the very end of the list, but they were among the most long-awaited. I work with coach, who took maximum care of my condition during the training and the rehabilitation process, carefully excluding a number of exercises and at first forbidding me to invest in the blow “to the fullest”.

In this article, I really want to convey that all the haste and neglect of the advice of your surgeon and trainer can lead to disastrous results and a beautiful butt pumped up and 8 pack abs will not look so good when your implants slide down to the navel.

And so, what threatens early intense physical activity or 5 reasons why you should “turn on” your head during rehabilitation:
1. Displacement of the implant, namely, the implant falling out of the pocket, which will lead to breast asymmetry and repeated surgical intervention.
2. The formation of a rough scar. Because an unformed scar under external pressure on the tissue can stretch.
3. Seroma. It is a yellowish, slightly viscous fluid that accumulates between the breast and the implant. A seroma requires antibiotic treatment, and in some cases the implant may need to be removed.
4. Abundant bleeding, which leads to the accumulation of a blood clot in the cavity of the pocket, where large hematomas can subsequently form, which can serve as the beginning of a suppurative process.
5. Divergence of seams. I don't think I need to explain why this is bad. You will be sewn up again ... no question, only the scars will become more noticeable, and your psychological condition, after seeing a hole instead of a seam, it will stagger a little.

WHEN TO DO SPORTS AFTER MAMMOPLASTY

The rehabilitation period after mammoplasty is from three to eight months.
At this time it is not allowed:
- performance of heavy physical loads;
- bodybuilding training (although bodybuilders neglect this rule)
-strength exercises (push-ups, lifting with a barbell).

You can return to serious activities only six months after the operation.
After three months, your surgeon may allow athletics and running. It is very important not to overload the shoulder girdle with active exercises until the three-month period.
And remember, the timing of returning to sports is extremely individual for everyone (depending on physiology, as well as the speed of the recovery process after surgery), tell your surgeon about any of your “body movements” in the direction of sports, believe me, he will not advise bad.

Recovery times are affected by:
- the size and shape of the implant;
- the density of the mammary gland;
-surgical technique and method of implant placement.
With large implant sizes, the time to return to sports can increase significantly.

RETURN TO SPORT PROCEDURE
As I wrote earlier, the first couple of days after mammoplasty requires complete rest and bed rest.
You should start physical exercises no earlier than a month later with small loads, gradually increasing, adjusting their duration, but be sure to listen to your body, paying attention Special attention on well-being.
After two months, many physical activities are allowed, in case of normal healing, running and aerobics can be included in the training plan, but only after consultation with the surgeon.
Three months later:
do stretching;
download the press;
raise your arms above your shoulders.

Push-ups, chest presses and chest stretches can be done after six months (and I will repeat this tirelessly ... after consulting with your surgeon).
Mountaineering, rowing, etc. should be excluded for 6-12 months.

It should be borne in mind that all types of exercises must be carried out in compression underwear for up to 6-8 weeks, and then in a sports bra, you will have to show off your babies later. But, by the way, I still work out in compression underwear.
Now, I'm answering the questions:

IS IT WORTH TO CONTINUE WORKOUT IF PAIN APPEARS?
During training, especially in the early stages after surgery, you may experience pain. This is due to the fact that the muscles have not yet come to the proper tone. You can continue classes.
In this case, you need to give up for some time exercises that cause pain, or reduce their intensity. In case the pain does not subside, it is necessary to consult a surgeon.

WHAT IS CHEST DISCOMFORT DURING EXERCISING?
After mammoplasty, especially with the method of access under the muscle, there are pains and feelings of tightness in the chest. During the first weeks, this is a completely normal process.
To form an implant, the surgeon needs to separate the large muscle of the chest, under which it is inserted. The implant begins to put pressure on the surrounding organs, since there is still not enough space for it there. There is a gradual adaptation and stretching of the tissues.
Over time, this feeling of discomfort will pass.

Remember the rush in the issue of rehabilitation is completely useless, you don’t want to harm yourself ?!
Now I will tell you about the process of getting rid of unwanted vegetation on my body. I had the second procedure, which was over in 20 minutes. Fast, right?! And that's all, because I'm "late" and "in a hurry"!)))))) This time, the power was increased, somewhere, in some places, I felt discomfort, but no more. There is noticeably less hair .. Therefore, I think that 5 procedures will be enough, although it is up to my doctor and part-time, a wonderful person, to decide Egorova Natalya Sergeevna. In the last article, I talked about how important it is for a competent specialist to work with you (of course, this is important everywhere). It seemed, well, what was he doing with the device, special skills are not needed, but not!) In order for such a procedure as laser hair removal to be effective and without pain, the doctor must determine your skin type, hair thickness, find out about your ailments, etc., and based on the information received, select the necessary power and intensity of the beam for you. Just one of the real examples of my friend's unsuccessful trip to the procedure laser hair removal, which ran into an alexandrite laser in one of Minsk medical centers(by the way, oddly enough, the center is really quite good).

“Dasha, how did it really hurt you? She tortured me for almost an hour, I thought I was going to die! It was painful and endured for a long time, the effect is so-so ... ".
I will not transfer the entire dialogue, since there are too many obscene expressions)))), but she wanted to stop continuing the procedures. BUT! I managed to persuade her to go to Lesante to my doctor, explaining all the details and advantages of this center.
In general, the arguments are simple! On the alexandrite laser, the bikini zone is done for half an hour, and on the diode one (exactly the same in Lesante) - 10 minutes, and if you do the bikini, armpit and leg zones, then on the alexandrite laser 2 hours, and on ours 40-60 minutes, that is, in 2 times faster, and, accordingly, 2 times less time to endure pain!
What is the result:
“Dasha, you reprimand! You don't love me at all! Why didn't I go there before?! The pain was many times less and the torment was only for 30 minutes! »
In short, it was not in vain that I convinced her))) SMS from her husband:
“Thank you, Dasha! I thought this was the end.”

In pursuit of beauty, women pay special attention to their bust. Of course, everyone has their own idea of ​​how breasts should ideally look, but still there are certain criteria that make breasts less attractive.

The most common reasons why women resort to mammoplasty include:

• The need for breast augmentation.
  This is the most popular operation today. Breast size is increased with implants.
• The need for breast reduction.
  This operation, as opposed to the first, is also in demand. A huge number of women dream of getting rid of natural breasts of impressive size, as it is a heaviness that affects the rhythm Everyday life, having Negative influence on the state of health.
• Breast asymmetry.
  Sometimes, due to various factors, the mammary glands can be deformed, creating a strong asymmetry that can only be corrected by surgery.
• Change in the shape of the breast due to pregnancy, sudden weight loss and other factors.
  With the loss of "filling" and sagging, the mammary glands can also be corrected with the help of mammoplasty.

All these ways can easily give a woman the breast of her dreams, however great amount women are afraid to resort to such operations, fearing for a long time"break down". The fears that women are subject to are most often caused by the fear of deterioration in health and physical fitness, since there is a stereotype according to which sports are contraindicated for a long time after mammoplasty.

Of course, after leaving the hospital, you should not immediately run to the gym, in addition, the first 7-10 days of any sport after mammoplasty will feel different. Since the patient is required to wear compression garments after the operation, which will also interfere with high-impact exercises, it is necessary to wait at least 2 weeks to start exercising.

The first light loads are available after 2 weeks. The load should be gradual so that the muscles do not experience stress. In the process, exercises and simulators of increased injury risk should be avoided, devoting more time to such sports after mammoplasty as fitness.

Serious sports such as professional skiing can only be recommended after a complete healing process. The main thing to remember is that if you do not want to spoil the result of the operation, you should not ignore the advice of doctors.

Workouts, fitness and gym after mammoplasty

So, when 2 weeks of rest are over, and you decide to go to conquer the gym, you should remember that compression underwear should still not be removed.

Yes, in the absence of pain, which should have passed by this time, the underwear will still bring some discomfort, but it will not be comparable to the first few days after the operation.

In terms of training after mammoplasty, you should not immediately perform a large number of exercises and approaches.

The first thing doctors advise to patients who have undergone mammoplasty is push-ups. This exercise should be started from the wall, while constantly observing the reaction of the body.

Stop at the first signs of fatigue and pain.

Push-ups perfectly develop the pectoral muscle and, unlike the philistine opinion, this exercise will not damage the shape, but on the contrary, it will help the implants “get into place”.

All other exercises should be done in the same way. entry level without overworking the body.

Sports that can positively affect the postoperative period include fitness. After mammoplasty, it is not so important what kind of fitness is in question - whether it is step or cardio, the main thing is good fixation, which is achieved by bandages and control of the state of the body. It should be noted that the healing process is much faster if the patient regularly exposes her body light physical stress.

Speaking about visiting the gym after mammoplasty, it is also worth noting the need to inform your trainer about the operation. This is done, firstly, so that the coach can protect you from simulators that can harm you in one way or another, and secondly, if something goes wrong during the training (or you feel sick), the coach could quickly respond and provide appropriate help.

When can I ski after mammoplasty?

Skiing requires the active work of all muscle groups. When it comes to semi-professional or professional skating, the process implies the active work of the upper muscle group. In addition to active muscular work, the fact of increased injury risk should also be taken into account. If the bandages may well save from sudden movements, displacement of the mammary gland during running and jumping movements, then it is unlikely from a severe fall from the mountainside.

Even when it comes to riding on relatively flat terrain, you should never neglect safety precautions. A strong fall on the chest can cause a huge number of consequences, ranging from rupture of the seam, ending with the displacement of the implant, which may require additional surgical intervention. In order to safely get up on skis and enjoy this sport without the risk of complications, you must fully withstand the period of wearing the brace, which is determined by your doctor.

Thus, in order to return to the usual rhythm of life, saturated with sports, as soon as possible, it is necessary to observe simple rules: monitor the healing process, analyze general state body and observe the mode of wearing postoperative bandage. Listen to your body, giving it time to recover!

Sports after mammoplasty. When and how?

Finding a new breast after mammoplasty, many women want to put their whole figure in order. Therefore, it is not surprising that most patients after breast augmentation decide to seriously monitor their health and start exercising regularly. And despite the great desire to immediately take up active physical activity after mammoplasty, you will have to wait a bit with sports training.

The standard requirement for the patient during the rehabilitation period is a ban on heavy physical activity and sports activities. If you break this rule, the new breast may well suffer, and the result will be far from ideal. After plastic surgery, due to sports training, bleeding may open, which, in turn, can provoke the formation of hematomas. The latter are quite dangerous, because they can become the "initiator" of the inflammatory process. Seams may also come apart. However, it is not worth completely eliminating the load - this will slow down the healing process of tissues. After the first three months abstinence should be gradually introduced into the schedule of sports so that no pain occurs.

What is fraught with early loads

Rehabilitation after breast augmentation lasts from 3 to 6 months. And too early training negatively affects the healing of sutures, since a rough scar can form. The fact is that exercises on the pectoral muscles put pressure on the tissues, due to which the scar that has not yet formed can stretch. Another nuisance will be seroma, as well as displacement of the implant. The latter will entail repeated mammoplasty.

In addition to exercises for the pectoral muscles, exercises for the shoulder girdle are prohibited during the first two months. They can lead to the implant falling out of the pocket, and subsequent asymmetry of the mammary glands. This can only be corrected with secondary surgery.

When to start exercising after mammoplasty

The first three days after the operation, you must observe complete rest and bed rest. At the end of this period, it is allowed to get out of bed and take short walks.

Before returning to the gym, you should consult with your plastic surgeon.

Too early training negatively affects the healing of sutures, as a rough scar can form.

In the first two weeks, you can only do walking.

After three weeks, you can raise your arms up, but not above your shoulders.

After four weeks, you can take up exercises that exclude the impact on the pectoral muscles and shoulder girdle, so as not to disturb the process of fixing the implant. It is necessary to start physical exercises with small loads with their further increase. It is absolutely forbidden to lift even seemingly insignificant weights.

After a month, you can swim for short distances. After 1.5 months, it is allowed to lift dumbbells, the weight of which does not exceed 2 kg. Exercises with dumbbells are best done from a supine position. But if the implant is installed under the muscle, then you should start doing exercises after 1.5 months. Otherwise, the endoprosthesis, which has not yet been fully fixed, may well fall out.

After two months, you can resume aerobics, but only after discussion with the surgeon.

When three months have passed after mammoplasty, it is allowed to stretch and pump the press, as well as raise your arms above your shoulders. Usually three months after the operation, the doctor allows running and athletics.

Serious sports training is possible only 6 months after mammoplasty. Six months after the operation, it is quite possible to do push-ups, chest presses and stretch the pectoral muscles, but all this with the prior approval of a plastic surgeon. At first, push-ups are best done from the knees.

A year later, you can fully engage in kickboxing, tennis or mountaineering.

It is important to note that in the first 1.5 months all sports activities must be performed in compression underwear. After this time - in a sports bra.

Influence of the shape of the implant

If round implants are installed, then push-ups from the wall can be done after 3 weeks. This will help the bust take on a more natural shape. To achieve a greater effect, you can squeeze your palms in front of your chest, while spreading your elbows to the side.

With drop-shaped endoprostheses, one must be especially careful when accessing under the breast. Do not raise your hands sharply so as not to disrupt the healing process of scars. Here you can perform triceps exercises 2-3 weeks after mammoplasty.
