Going on 3 weeks post-op now. Saw the Doc this week. He said in his honest opinion he wants me to not work upper body for a total of at least 6 weeks, meaning 3 more weeks. I am now starting to massage the scar tissue areas daily to break them up. A little uncomfortable but not too painful. What was different about my particular surgery is I didn't have a small amount of gland and a bigger amount of fatty tissue...I literally had a LOT of actual breast tissue that had to be removed. Saw the pictures post op, it was disgusting. I actually had very little fat deposits in comparison to a lot of the procedures he said he had done. Going to take his advice, but in the mean time for the next 3 weeks I am going to hit legs hard (leg press/extensions/calf raises) 3x a week and do my daily steady state cardio (30 min sessions) until I get the go ahead for upper body work. Once I'm cleared I'm jumping back on and going hard through the spring to get ready for beach season.
