I'll will be getting liposuction on my inner thighs. The incision will be on my bikini line. Will the scars be uncomfortable when I ride a bike? Will cycling slow down the healing process?
Answer: Returning to bicycling after liposuction the medial thighs. In my own practice you would be permitted to resume running a bike as soon as it was comfortable to do so. This would probably be about two weeks. However only your surgeon should give you instructions for postoperative convalescence.

Answer: Exercise and Liposuction Post operative regimens will vary from surgeon to surgeon. The restrictions on physical activity are meant to allow for unimpeded healing and minimize post procedural edema/swelling.Most surgeons will discourage heavy physical activity for anywhere from 4-6 weeks. Additionally, individual patient pain tolerances may often play a role in indicating when one may return to any significant activity (over and beyond what your surgeon recommends).Faithful use of a compression garment is always helpful as well in limiting post-operative swelling (especially after a return to exercise).As always, discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: When can I return to cycling? - Liposuction Thank you for your question. I typically request that my patients refrain from any exercise (cycling included) and/or heavy lifting for 4 weeks following a liposuction procedure. Exercise, high intensity cardio and heavy lifting can all increase the amount of swelling a patient can experience following their procedure. I would recommend referring to your operating surgeons specific post-operative protocols. Best of luck on your upcoming procedure!

Answer: Lipo Usually the recovery from inner thigh lipo is quick but you may want to take a week or two off of cycling for comfort reasons. Remember to wear your compression garments during the recovery to help with your swelling

Answer: Liposuction - When can I return to cycling? Thank you for your question. I generally have my patients wait 4 - 6 weeks before returning to exercise following liposuction. High intensity exercise, such as cycling, may result in more swelling, but will not likely change your end result. Please follow your plastic surgeons specific post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of compression garment. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.
