I am a professional male athlete under the age of 30. I routinely train with Olympic weightlifting and must maintain high cardiovascular fitness for my sport. In competition, it is a contact sport that is very physically challenging. I maintain a reasonably healthy diet and obviously train a great deal. I have always carried a bit of fat on my lower abs and flanks. Would a procedure on this area compromise my ability to train and compete for more than two months?

Answer: Liposuction and recovery Thank you for your question. I always tell my patients that their bodies will tell them what they can and cannot do after liposuction. Usually it means that whatever you are not too sore to do, you can do right after. Having said this, you will be sore for a few days but not restricted. Incisions are tiny so you can work out right away.

Answer: Workouts After Liposuction I appreciate your concerns, but photographs would be helpful to provide a more detailed and specific answer. It sounds like your workout regimen is extremely vigorous and your area of concern probably does not have a great deal of extra fat. For that reason micro liposuction is your best option to improve contour. You may return to light workouts within 1 to 2 weeks and full workouts in less than one month after surgery. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon In your area to confirm my advice. Good luck.
