Real Self Questions with Dr Rahdon- aka The BOOBGOD Q: Activity after breast augmentation? Did I injury myself? I had breast augmentation 9 days ago. For work/emergency, I had to run a short distance (200m). Was told to avoid exercise for 2 weeks. I held them down! And had on a sports bra plus a breast band so minimal movement of the breasts. My heart rate was elevated for a very short time. I have under the muscle silicone implants Im super paranoid about capsular contracture.The breasts look the same, with no pain. Is it likely that I injured something minuscule, thus raising my chances of contracture? A: Exercise after breast augmentation Hi there. It sounds like you have nothing to worry about if you have no pain, swelling or bruising. I recommend total rest from exercise for 2 weeks with gradual increase in activities over the following 4 weeks. The cause of capsular contracture is still unclear. I think its very unlikely your short burst of activity will increase your risk.
