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!

With liposuction, you will have swelling up to six months. You may actually be at your biggest at the end of the first week. Please wear your compression garment, and follow all your post operative instructions. A half of liter of fat may give you a very noticeable improvement once the swelling...
Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post operative results. A personal examination is needed to properly address what your lumps are. I will suggest scheduling a follow up appointment with your surgeon for further assistance.
Thanks for the question. It’s too early to comment over the result. First couple of weeks after the surgery you can back to work and couple of weeks later your permanent recovery will start. It’s possible to see some major changes in Liposuction results till the end of 12 months recovery....
