How Long After Lipo Until I Can Weight Lift?

User Avatar

I had my first lipo done in june of 2010. January of this year I had a second lipo. I noticed that I have more swelling than the first one. It's been six weeks now and I hardly see the difference. I know it's going to take a while. I want to start lifting weights but I'm concern that it will cause more swelling. is it ok to start a vigorous exercise program after a second lipo? and If not how long should I wait? Thank you.
