Is it safe to lift weights right after a body lift? If somone is undertaking a fairly heavy program of resistance training, will lifting weights pull the stitches? How long should someone wait before lifting weights again? What kind of exercise can be resumed right after surgery?

Answer: Activities following bodylift surgery
Ask your Plastic Surgeon how to resume your weight traing following body lift surgery. I typically ask the patients to start walking the first day after surgery and then to not stress the suture line by bending forward or twisting for 6 weeks after body lift surgery.

Answer: Body Lift then Exercise?
Clearly follow the advice of your Plastic Surgeon. In my practice I dont have patients return to rigorous exercise for 6 weeks after a body lift. After 6 weeks a patient can usually return to full weights and cardio routine.
