working out after breast surgeryThere are some general guidelines regarding exercise after breast augmentation surgery . However, you should pay close attention to the post-operative instructions from your surgeon, regarding when to restart your exercise program.

In the first two weeks after surgery, you want to keep your blood pressure from being elevated.  This means your activity should be limited to your normal daily activities and unrestricted walking. It’s important to give the breasts adequate time to heal, and exercising too early may cause bleeding.

Light aerobic exercise can be resumed after 2 weeks, and moderate exercise at 3 weeks.  You may also begin weightlifting at 3 weeks, but this should be limited to lower body exercises. At 4 weeks, you are free to resume any exercise or activity you desire.

These are rough guidelines, and every person’s recovery will be a little different.  It is best to listen to your body, and let your surgeon know how you are feeling. If you have any additional questions about with breast augmentation recovery call (949) 701-4454 and speak with Dr. Kyle Song at Song Plastic Surgery in Irvine, California.

How to Tell If You Need a Breast Lift

Orange County Breast Lift - Song Plastic Surgery

Making the decision to have a breast lift is, understandably, a personal one.  After all, a breast lift can change the way you feel about the shape of your body, as it enhances the volume and positioning of your breasts.  What’s more, a breast lift can help you feel better about yourself, especially if you’ve been struggling to get your body back after having a baby or losing a considerable amount of weight.  That’s why if you’re not sure if you need a breast lift, you need to schedule a consultation with someone who can help you understand this important decision.

At Song Plastic Surgery in Irvine, California, also serving the greater Orange County areas, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kyle Song provides his clients with superior breast lift procedures with pristine results.  Dr. Song specialize in breast lift and breast augmentation treatments, meaning he understands the concerns his patients might have about the procedure and the post-surgical results.

What’s more, Dr. Song can help provide patients with a little guidance if they’re unsure as to whether or not they need a breast lift.  With this in mind, here are the most common signs you could benefit from a breast lift procedure:

  • Your breasts have lost a considerable amount of volume.  This is often most common in women who have had children, have breastfed or are breastfeeding, or who have lost a significant amount of weight.  The strains of weight-loss/pregnancy means that the breasts undergo considerable changes in a short period of time.  This can end up creating a deflated look, which might make you feel self-conscious about your breasts.
  • Your breasts have started to sag.  Again, this can be caused by weight loss and pregnancy; another factor can be aging.  As we get older, our collagen levels start to break down, which means our skin isn’t as firm as it once was.  This means that skin starts to sag, which creates a drooping appearance in the breasts.
  • You feel that you could benefit from reshaping and re-positioning your breasts.  If your self-confidence could be boosted from the procedure, then that’s really all the reason you need!

Don’t let sagging breasts drag down your self-esteem.  For more information about undergoing a breast lift procedure, schedule a consultation with Dr. Song at Song Plastic Surgery in Irvine, California today – (949) 701-4454.
