Your surgical recovery from breast augmentation is expected to be relatively short. You may feel well enough to return to work after a week. After two weeks, you may be cleared to resume light cardio activity. That said, it's important to take your return to exercise as slow as your body dictates. If you attempt to perform what you consider normal exercise and you feel tenderness or soreness, stop. The good news is you can walk soon after surgery and there are few restrictions, provided you listen to your body. As you come to your four to six-week follow-up period, you may be able to increase the intensity of your normal exercise. Your surgical team will discuss activity clearances and restrictions with you as they pertain to direct chest exercises like push-ups when you're evaluated for post-surgical recovery.
