Answer: Exercise after liposuction Walking in the postoperative period is important after having a procedure like liposuction. However, any physical activity that increases the resting heart rate can make postoperative swelling worse. I advise my patients to avoid exercise that raises the heart rate for about 4 weeks. After that time, they can ease back in to their workout regimen. I recommend following up with your surgeon for your postoperative guidelines.

Answer: Exercise Post Liposuction Exercise post liposuction helps remove the swelling as long as you have good compression and there is no pain during the exercise. All my patients start with a long walk at 24 hours and get on a treadmill at 48 hours. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Exercise and liposuction Vigorous activity after liposuction during the healing phase is worse for swelling. I typically require my patients to refrain from vigorous activity for six weeks

Answer: Walking after liposuction is a good I recommend walking for my patients the day of the procedure, as long as they're not lightheaded and are with someone. When we walk we increase our circulation and help the return of tissue swelling to the normal circulation. When we stand or sit for long periods, swelling accumulates in the soft tissues. Walking is good, standing around isn't.
