Exercise and compression garments after smartlipo

Patients exercise 1 day after smartlipo

In my experience all of my patients do low impact aerobics for the first 3 days after smartlipo and most may begin weight-lifting on the 4th day.

Working out after liposuction.

Typically after a few weeks, your surgeon  will allow you to do light cardio.  You will have to wear a compression garment after surgery until your post op and depending on your unique situation, may or may not have to wear it longer.
