She did well postoperatively and was back to her usual daily activities after five days. She was back to jogging and the elliptical at three weeks and running and arm weights at six weeks.

Breast Augmentation Recovery
Recovery from Breast Augmentation surgery is relatively quick, considering the scope of the procedure and the fact that the implant is placed under the pectoralis muscle (pec muscle). When the implant is placed under this muscle, the muscle gets stretched and that causes the muscle to contract. This constant contraction of the muscle leads to discomfort which is most prominent the day of surgery and decreases over the next three to four days. Patients are instructed to avoid lifting and doing repetitive arm movements for about 6 days. Patients can resume exercise in a graded fashion but really can’t do repetitive exercises or weights with the arms or core exercise for six weeks after their procedure.
Breast Augmentation Financing
Financing for breast augmentation and cosmetic surgery, in general is readily and easily available. Rates vary depending on the credit score and the amount of the money that is lent to the patient. The most popular loan company for cosmetic surgery is care credit.
