The timeline for resuming normal activities after breast implant revision surgery can vary depending on the extent of the procedure, your overall health, and your individual healing process. In general, you should plan to take it easy for the first few days after surgery and avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting. You may need to take a week or two off work or other daily activities to allow for proper healing.
It is important to follow Dr. Fairchild’s post-operative instructions, including any restrictions on activity and any recommended exercises or stretching to aid in recovery. You’ll need to avoid any activities that could put a strain on the chest area, such as jogging, aerobics, or weightlifting, for several weeks after surgery. In general, you can plan to gradually resume normal activities over the course of several weeks, but it is important to listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard too soon.
