You should really ask this question to your surgeon since we all have slightly different post operative instruction and it also depends on how your incisions are healing. I would say that most of the times after two weeks post-op if your incisions are completely healed you can go into the pool or beach.
This is largely dependent on how your incisions have healed. Most wounds can be submerged by 2 weeks post-op, but again every patient is different. Asking your surgeon would be your best resource.
I make my patient wait 4 weeks after an aggressive 4D contouring treatment to go in a pool or hot tub. Best, Dr. Emer.
I appreciate your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you will be healing following surgery.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well. I recommend my patients to wait at least 6 weeks before resuming any water related sports, to avoid risk of infection.If you have any concerns, I suggest you follow up close with your plastic surgeon.Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)
Thank you for your query. There are two aspects that need to be addressed here- have the wounds all healed? and is it safe enough to start some exercises and normal activity?I would usually advice mild exercises and activities that don't disturb the operated area after all the operated wounds have healed and after about 4 to 6 weeks while heavy exercises and normal activity can be carried out after 12 weeks. You wouldn't want to disturb an operated area with activity that would cause further swelling or bleeding.However each patient and his surgery is unique and therefore the operating surgeon is the person to decide on the post operative rest period and rehabilitation programs.Best wishes,Dr Alexander+
Discuss this issue with your surgeon while comparing your before photos with your result. It is uncommon to have an off centered belly button resulting from liposuction.
Traditional SAL can be a little violent. There are different devices that can be used to make it less violent( power assisted, laser assisted, ect). These different modalities can come with their own risks and problems, nothing is perfect.
Swelling and bruising is always going to move down due to gravity. It is completely common for the mons area to be swollen post liposuction. This could take several months to completely go away. You will probably notice more swelling in the evening after you have been up and about all day and...
