Hi
I have had bilateral mastectomies and reconstruction with expanders and then saline implants. None of my doctors have told me to avoid arm exercises and I am currently 5 months into doing Pinc Pilates - which is rehab for ladies who have had breast surgery/mastectomy. I am not able to completely engage all my muscle groups and my flexibility is somewhat compromised, but the Pilates has really helped. I would recommend that you only go to someone who is a physio and who can keep an eye on what you do so you don't hurt yourself. Also, if something hurts, stop doing it!
Hope this helps,
