How soon can you exercise after Smart Lipo?

Thanks for asking this question. I do not let my patients return to the gym until they are three weeks post op. It's important for the first three weeks not to elevate your heart rate/blood pressure. If you have concerns check with your surgeon's protocol. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the question, this is a great topic. If the procedure is done gently and you are placed on a proper post-operative nutrition program you should be able to start back at the gym at 10 days or so!Good luck 

The return to exercise usually depends upon the amount of lipo you experienced. Usually small area lipo can have you back to the gym in a week.

Thank you for your question. SmartLipo recovery generally doesn’t require the same amount of down time as traditional liposuction. Typically, most patients return to work after 2 days. However, I recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for at least 1 week. Each patient is different depending the area treated, the amount of fat removed, your genetic tendencies, skin type and natural healing abilities. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist. 

We restrict our patients from vigorous exercise for 2 weeks postop. Then they may slowly ease into exercise and see how their body tolerates it, both from a pain and swelling standpoint.
