Is It Safe to Exercise Arms After Brazilian Butt Lift?

Question

Can a person work out his arms only after a Brazilian Butt Lift? Using free weights standing up and not sitting. I know your not suppose to exercise but its the arm area only. Thanks.

Farbod Esmailian, MD · Answer

You should not exercise if your doctor asked you not to, even if it is your arms.  I generally ask my patients to not exercise for 4 weeks after surgery.  That includes treadmill or anything that can get your heart rate up.
It really has nothing to do with the body part, it is a global issue and you are not to raise your heart rate for that time.  We are concerned with increasing blood pressue and causing bleeding and excessive swelling.
Good luck.

Thank you for your question. I always recommend to my patients after 1 months post op. I recommend you to follow your PS post op advise.Respectfully,-Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hi there-
I personally prefer that my patients not exercise at all for at least a month after Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery (beyond a casual walk).
Your best bet is to ask your surgeon what their preferences are for postoperative activity however.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
I recommend my patients to wait at least 4 weeks before resuming their workout rutine (cardio, lift, etc.). 
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Yes, you can safely exercise your upper body as long as you don't sit on your butt to do it. However, I recommend you start off at an easy pace because you don't want to compromise your recovery. Best to ask your surgeon for their postsurgery recommendations.
