Very soon

Every dr will have his own philosophy. i let my pts walk and do most things that don't drive their heart rate way up after 2-3 days. after 7-10 days, i give them essentially unrestricted activities. however, they need to listen to their body and if things hurt a lot, they need to reduce their activity.

You may start working out about 2 weeks after your smart lipo procedure...

After having the smart lipo procedure you may start working out in about two weeks.  If you start working out to soon, then the swelling may worsen.  After two weeks, you should start out with a light workout, nothing too strenuous, and gradually build up to your regular workout routine.

Working out after Smartlipo

There is no rule about when you can start working out.  It really depends on how you feel and how large of an area you had treated.  There are no sutures that might break and no incisions that might have problems, so you can start working out as soon as the next day if you feel okay.  In reality, most patients go back to work the next day or two after the procedure and start working out after a few days.  Good luck.

Exercise after SmartLipo

Every physician has their own recommendations for resuming exercise after laser liposuction.  I encourage my patients to be active as soon as possible but to start with light exercise and build up as tolerated.  Most patients go for a walk the next day and gradually resume their exercise routine within the first week.

One Week Post SmartLipo

We ask our patients to take it easy for the first 7 days, after that you can resume your daily activities. Just don’t over do it, listen to your body!

You should be able to now

Unless you had a very challenging recovery, you ought to be able to work out now. Depending on the other method used with the SmartLipo, recovery can vary. But if you had the tumescent method, you ought to be ready to go now.
