Anavar and implants: before, during, after, never?

[Honeynut]

Hi all, interested in your opinions:
If you were to get a breast augmentation, could you take anavar to help your recovery? If so, would you begin your anavar before your surgery, imediately after your surgery, or whenever you were ready to start lifting again?

Thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

I don't see how Anavar would have any benefit to your recovery. Even medically, it isn't prescribed for anything like that. As expensive as Anavar can be, I'd wait until I was fully recovered and ready to get my moneys worth out of the drug. Good luck to you. :)

i agree. if you still wanted to use anavar i would wait until healed and ready to hit gym.

Ditto.

You should be back in the gym training naturally for a few weeks before going on cycle.

IGF-1 does help heal just about any tissue.

[Honeynut]

IGF-1, eh? Hmmmmmm

[DS-COUSIN]

IGF-1 is inappropriate for this type of recovery for surgery. I work for a plastic surgeon. Let your recovery run it's course and then incorporate GH for faster "gym" recovery.

I wasn't implyng to take IGF-1 prior to surgery...

I know people who have had broken bones, hit by trucks, disk herniae, surgery for inguinal herniae, who took IGF-1 for recovery and it helped tremendously.

IGF-1 regenerates tissue. Besides "disagreeing", is there any scientifically-founded objection?

Heck, the literature is FILLED with IGF-1 healing properties for bones, soft tissue, etc etc etc... Search the National Library of Medicine if you wish... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi

The science is all there.

Well, since I work for a plastic surgeon and he is founder and Medical Director of The Center for Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery and has published five books on plastic surgery, recovery, and techniques, I take him for his word. I consulted him before I just posted "Willy Nilly," and I was not trying to flame you at all. I just happened to be in the office when I saw this post and asked him because I was curious. Thank you for the science lesson and I know research points GH and IGF-1 as a good ideas, but does not specifically address elective surgeries, such as breast augmentation. Again, it was only one plastic surgeons recommendation, it's not gospel. :D

That clears that up, then. Thanks for the info. Although I believe I will use IGF-1 right after my, erm, breast surgery.

The only thing that helps speed recovery after implants is a lot of chest muscle tissue. That is exactly the reason I was at the mall on Sunday after having mine done on a Friday.

My doctor said since my muscles were used to being torn down and rebuilding themselves from working out, recovery would be much faster than that of the average sedentary female.

I'm the same as Red - surgery was Friday and I was at the mall on Sunday. Even drove a standard to get there (a bit painful but I did it). I wouldn't bother with the Anavar until you were fully recovered and ready to hit the gym hard.

your recovery

is also contingent on the size of implant, your skins elasticity, the pocket the doc has to create and whether its over or under the muscle....

[hitmansb]

Before you jump, do some homework on 'overaggressive healing response'....it's not smart to gamble.

Are you going under the muscle or over the muscle? I believe you have a longer recovery if they're under the muscle, but they look more natural.
