There are limited scientific data regarding the impact of exercise after breast augmentation surgery.

Recommendations range from a few weeks to a few months of physical activity avoidance.

We decide whether early exercise after breast augmentation is safe, a prospective randomized trial was designed to measure complications, scar quality, and patient-reported outcomes in this setting.

The present study was a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of early exercise (1 week after surgery) on postoperative complications, scar quality, and patient-reported outcome (BREAST-Q).

All women undergoing primary breast augmentation surgery in the authors’ institution were randomized to either standard restrictions or exercise.

The three primary outcomes measured were the presence of a complication and reoperation, scar quality, and patient-reported outcome.
