There is varying opinion as to when
exercise should be resumed after breast implants. While you should ask
the surgeon who is performing your surgery, I can tell you that in my
practice, I encourage a rapid return to as much activity as
comfortable in the third week. The bleeding risk has passed by then
and exercise should encourage the pectoralis muscle to accommodate to
the implant more rapidly.
Implants under the muscle are not
usually a problem with actively exercising people. While they will be
able to perceptibly flatten the implants while flexing without
clothing, this is not usually visible in leotards and T-shirts.
I encourage pectoralis exercises. While it takes a bit longer for the
implants to drop into position, this leads to a thicker pectoralis
muscle, which I believe helps to hide the implant and give a more
natural result.
