Breast Implants & Exercising
Welcome! I will be blogging about my recovery process, experience, feelings, thoughts, and my journey back to exercising.
My name is Susan. I am a stay at home mother of 3 and fitness competitor. I have wanted implants since the birth of my second child but decided it would be in my best interest to wait until I am done having kids. I have heard through others experience having implants and birthing, the implants are no longer sitting high and some, have little to major sag (depends on your genetics). Many of you can relate to my story. After breast feeding 2 kids and with the my youngest I breast fed for little over a year caused major fat loss in my breast. My self esteem lowered. I hate the way my breast look in clothing, swim suits, and any low cut shirts. I avoid looking in the mirror, I would become depressed with the thought of wearing sports bra, and it is difficult to find the bra that fits my deflated boobs. I have a very supportive husband who does not mind how I look but it has effected my self esteem with my husband, too.
The decision to finally go through with the procedure was after giving birth to our third child, we have decided we're done expanding our family. Also, I waited til I finished breast feeding.
FYI: If you are still breast feeding and wish to get implants after. I highly recommend waiting 1.5-2 months from the day you stop breast feeding just to make sure the milk is completely dried out and your breast is NOT engorged.
On Dec. 14, 2010, I had my Breast Augmentation. The procedure was through the areola, with an areola reduction, placed with a high profile 450cc silicone under the muscle. I chose to place it under the muscle through the areola given it a slight lift. The reason I decided to go under the muscles is it gives you less chance of the ripple effect, a lower risk of capsule contracture, and best option for someone who intend to be very fit & tone w/low body fat.
The purpose of this blog is to give you an insight of what to be expected after Breast Augmentation under the muscle when returning back to exercising. A week by week progress with your pectoral muscles by checking out the Back to Exercise tab. Plus, my Post-op recovery. Including fears, problems, and anything else I felt was alerting.

Very interesting and informative about your physical progress. I also thought the part about your 2 yr old was very helpful for young mothers. Your research makes it much more credible. I am still curious though if you are happy with the results and the physiological impact this surgery has had on you.
ReplyDeleteNice article! And yes, from what I've read, after a procedure like this we can exercise, but we must take care a little. Personally, I've had a breast augmentation Toronto surgery like 6 months ago, but I'm not doing who knows what kind of exercises... I don't want to have problems!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been two years already. How are you now? I’m glad to see your Facebook page, and I’m glad that you have posted nice thoughts there. By the way, I was thinking of how you coped during your postoperative stage. You’re a model and an athlete, so how did you handle your tasks after the breast enhancement? I hope you can reply to my comment ‘cause I’d love to hear about your experience.

Staying fit after your implants sounds like a very hard thing to do. You see, you’re an active athlete and model so I can’t imagine how your breast implants affected your active lifestyle. Anyway, your body is superb and I hope you’re satisfied with the result of your augmentation. :)

A recovering patient must not be afraid to advocate for herself. If she needs stronger pain medication than the kind she was originally prescribed, she should call her doctor. There is also nothing wrong with asking questions as the healing process progresses. Breast augmentation is a major surgery. The body will be working hard to repair at least two deep and invasive incisions. Strange pains and sensations are to be expected, but it is always best to err on the side of caution if something does not seem right.

Most women who have had a breast augmentation are happy with the procedure. There are a few that regret their decision after the procedure is done. Feeling sad or depressed after the procedure is not uncommon. A few things can cause these types of feelings including side effects of medication as well as reactions to anesthesia. There are some women who believe that the swelling and bruising is a permanent thing which can bring on feelings of depression. The best thing to do is to allow yourself time to heal and for the implants to settle.
