Why do women need breast reduction surgery?
It is vital for any woman to feel comfortable with her body. There are many physical, emotional and psychological issues that can arise from having breasts that are too large.
Many of our Breast Reduction patients have suffered from neck pain, back and shoulder pain, skin issues under the breasts, and sleeping problems. These physical discomforts can influence what you wear, or how you participate in physical activities, and that can have a significant impact on your self-confidence.
When can I exercise again after a breast reduction?
You can begin with gentle movement as soon as you feel up to it, a day or two after your procedure. For example, walking promotes blood circulation and reduces the risks of blood clots without putting excess strain on your chest wall. Light cardio is a great way to be active, trigger endorphins and help to make you feel better.
However, you should avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous exercises for at least six weeks after surgery. Too vigorous cardio exercises can lead to bleeding, scarring or separation of an incision. And make sure to wear a quality sports bra during any activities. You want to give yourself an extended period of time and allow your chest tissue enough time to heal properly.
When you do restart your regular exercise routine, begin with low-impact activities like riding a stationary bicycle. We want you to have a smooth recovery after one of the best breast reductions Miami has to offer. Listen to what your body is telling you as far as any pain you experience during exercise. You want to move forward without overdoing it.
