Answer: Does Exercise Help with Swelling
Exercise, in general after any surgery, can increase swelling in the operated area. That does NOT mean that you should not exercise, on the contrary. Exercise helps with increasing blood flow to the tissues which helps with wound healing. The amount and intensity of exercise should be discussed with your operating surgeon so that you do not do too much too soon. Good luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Swelling After Tummy Tuck If you exercise too early, you will most likely compromise your recovery, worsening swelling. However, I encourage all my patients to leisurely walk around after their surgery and remain active, rather than lying in bed all day. This will minimize the risk of deep clots in your leg veins and keep your circulation going, which will help with the swelling. But don't push yourself!Your compression garment should also be worn to help with swelling.

Answer: Does Exercise Help with Swelling?l
Always best to strictly follow the post operative protocols of your chosen surgeon. You paid him, right? Exercise for my personal patients starts at 3 weeks post in most cases. I think you mean massages or ultrasound therapy for swelling not exercise. From MIAMI DR. Darryl j. Blinski

Answer: Take it slow
Depending on your doctor's recommendation and your own post-op recovery-you may be able to start walking slowly on a treadmill after 7-10 days for a short period of time-meaning not to get to the point of sweating as that will cause increase in swelling.
