Varies: This is a conversation you should have with your plastic surgeon who placed the implants. Every surgeon has their own set of post operative instructions. Please call him/her today.

Ask your surgeons: It may take six to eight weeks for you to feel "normal." as for your activity and lifting restrictions, it is better for you to consult with your surgeons as they are the ones who know exactly what and how extensive was your surgery.
