When can I lift weights again after tumescent lipo? (Photo)

Question

So I’m 7 months post op from having tumescent lipo on upper and lower abs. I’m having a touch up soon. When can I lift weights again. I had two seromas during the healing process last time. I wore my compression garment all day everyday for 6 weeks. I want to avoid seromas again this time. Not sure if it was due to me trying to rush into working out again. Thanks for the advice please see pics for details!

Hello. Great question. I will suggest discussing any post op instructions directly with your surgeon. Every surgeon has their own post op protocol. Keep following up with your surgeon.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest asking your surgeon, but I tell my patients they can lift normally by 4 weeks. Your surgeon might want you to wait longer because of the seromas.

Hi jshe8953,I would recommend following up with your surgeon for their post op care. Usually you can go back to working out after a touch up within a week or two. Best of luck!

Garrett M. Crabtree, MD · Answer

These are questions that you should ask your surgeon. Every Surgeon has their own recommendations for postop activities. Good luck, Dr Crabtree

Kevin Small, MD · Answer

3 weeks after liposuction, patients typically can return to light activity, and 6 weeks after liposuction, patients typically have no restrictions.  Our practice requires patients to wear a surgical garment 6 weeks after liposuction, continuously, and then they are allowed to wear the garment as needed.

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question. Depending on the work activity you do, you should wait 3 to 4 weeks to perform light exercises, just walk, otherwise you should wait for your recovery in the weeks established to avoid risks.
It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a goodevaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know about the appropriate recommendations, so that you can achieve the desired goals in your body.
I hope this answer will help youMy best wishes for you...
