That depends...: It depends mostly on what your plastic surgeon recommends. Typically most patients can return to full exercise without restrictions after six weeks.

Exercise after aug: You may begin walking the next day but full activity will take about two weeks. Each individual is different and your doctor will help with this decision.

3-7 days: For a subglandular augmentation patients may resume low impact exercise immediately, and regular exercise with a proper bra within the first week.

Recovery: The discomfort from breast augmentation is dependent on the size of the implant you desire. Larger implants...More discomfort...Longer recovery. On average, you should be able to get back to work within a few days (or even quicker with small implants). Six weeks before strenuous exercises. http://www.dassmd.com/breast-augmentation/index.html.

Breast augmentation: Good question !! The key is your safety. If return to exercise too soon, it can cause an increase in swelling and worst case scenario, a hematoma. So, best to consult with your plastic surgeon as to when you can return to exercise. Usually, it's about 6-8 weeks after placing an implant under the muscle. Less recovery time if you place the implant under just the breast tissue.
