Wait 6 weeks after Lipo to be safe

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD answers: Does Dance or Aerobics cause more swelling and bloating after Liposuction?

I took a hip hop dance class 24 days after liposuction and today i feel a little bloated. I am also ovulating, do you think the exercise or ovulation is causing me to be more bloated than usual? I really love exercising, can't imagine not doing so.

The general recommendation is to wait for at least 6 weeks after Lipo. From a swelling stand point, you might get more swelling from more activity. Take it very slow and wear a garment.

Bloating has so many reasons and could not be explained by the liposuction/activity.

Hope that helps!
