YouTube video (May 20, 2025) by Robert Whitfield MD advising women seeking fat transfer to avoid high-intensity/long-distance cardio (HIIT, F45, OrangeTheory, long spin rides) and instead prioritize resistance work (lifting heavy things, bands) to improve outcomes and bone health. The clip also includes a patient question about recovery time after breast explant surgery (question posed but no recovery timeline given in this excerpt).

Chapters

So I just have women concentrate on resistance because to avoid osteoporosis, it's not that you have to lift weights like a bodybuilder, but you need to move heavy things, do things that create resistance with bands or whatever your choice is, because that's really a better avenue for this. How long after breast explant surgery does it take to recover?
