Frequently Asked Questions
When can I get back to my normal activities?
That will depend on what kind of surgery you've had, however everyone needs some time to recover from surgery and anesthesia. Please ask your team about which activities you should avoid and for how long. As a general rule, you'll be advised to avoid exercise for the first two weeks after surgery. If you've had breast surgery, you'll be advised to avoid most exercise for three weeks and avoid swimming for at least four. Once this period is over, you should be able to resume your normal activities gradually so that by six weeks following your surgery you should be back to your normal level of exercise. This does not mean, however, that your operation site is fully settled or that the final result is achieved. It simply means that normal exercise is not likely to cause any problems.
