Question:

I will be getting a breast lift and would like to know if there is anything I can do to speed the recovery.  I am an aerobic instructor.  How long will it be before I can get back to work? 

Answer:

This depends upon the perspective of your particular surgeon.  Personally I would prefer that you stay away from heavy aerobic training for a minimum of four weeks and preferably six weeks.  However, I can adapt my post-operative protocol depending upon the individual situation but this would need to be determined as you went along after your surgery.
