1 Year & 6 Weeks After Shoulder Replacement: Bilateral Recovery Progress Update

What does recovery look like when you’ve had both shoulders replaced at different times? In this patient follow-up, see real progress with the right shoulder 1 year post-op and the left shoulder just 6 weeks after replacement surgery with Dr. Sameer Nagda.

The patient is doing well, showing strong motion in both shoulders while following proper recovery guidelines. In this video, Dr. Nagda evaluates range of motion, including overhead reach and “snow angel” movements on both sides. The right shoulder demonstrates more advanced mobility, including behind-the-back movement, while the left shoulder is still in the early healing phase and progressing appropriately.

This staged bilateral recovery highlights how each shoulder improves at its own pace, with safe, guided rehabilitation playing a key role in long-term success.

If you're considering shoulder replacement—especially for both shoulders—this video provides a realistic look at different recovery stages and what to expect along the way.
