It's been 1mnth since upper body procedure lower/upper ab, flanks, arms. Almost 3wks since lower half inner/out thighs, knees, fat trans to butt, subcision. took 1L! Started exercising last wk. Need direction on how much is 2 much. My legs not swelling (like arms occasionally). Still wearing all grmnts. My arm garment 20-24hrs/d, garment for abdomen/lower half worn 24hrs. Should I even lift weights yet? How hard is too hard? I've received info via my surgeon just looking for differing opinions.

Answer: Post Liposuction--Exercise, Massage Hi and thank you for your question. In my opinion I suggest doing whatever exercise you feel comfortable with doing. If it starts to hurt, don't do it. I encourage my patients to get up and walk the same day of surgery, increasing the walking as much as they can to slowly getting back into exercise, usually cardio is the best option for swelling purposes but as you feel better you may absolutely get back into lifting weights. I would say hold off on the heavy weights and be reasonable but it is great that you are in the mindset of keeping the body you have post surgery. Best regards, Dr. Berger
