Thanks for the question. After a week your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.
My patients are permitted to resume athletic activity as soon as they feel comfortable doing so. Your particular situation should be defined by your own surgeon however.
Liposuction is definitely much easier recovery then a tummy tuck. You can often start gentle exercise within a couple weeks. I would wait another couple of weeks for rigorous exercise or if you had an extensive amount of liposuction.
I start my patients 1 week later after liposuction doing all sorts of exercise and sports since they got the tumescent lipo under local, it is a much faster recovery (go to work in 2 days) and better results. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
Please discuss this with your surgeon.Generally, I allow liposuction patients to resume most basic exercises about 2 weeks after surgery. However, often it is best to wait a few weeks more if the exercise involves flexing and stretching the specific areas that were operated on.Best wishes.
Thanks for the question. Most patients are able to resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks depending on their tolerance and stamina. Any contact sports such as hockey, football, or soccer would best be delayed for 4-6 weeks. Check with your physician for his/her guidelines.
Something is amiss if you have an open wound 40 days after liposuction. My guess is that the liposuction was assisted by a laser or ultrasound which is created a significant thermal injury to the skin. You should consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for proper care.
In the short-term contour regularities after liposuction are common. As long as the trend is favorable there's no reason to panic. The final result may not emerge for six months to a year.
Massage, in various external energy treatment modalities have no effect on the long-term outcome from liposuction in my opinion.
Thank you for your picture. You still have some time for swelling to decrease over the next 2 to 5 months. I would give this as much time to settle as possible. It appears that you have some contour irregularities but time will tell. If you do you have contour irregularities this can be improved...
Liposuction will not reduce the muscle mass in an individual.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA.......
There is no good way to tighten the skin. Any loose skin after liposuction will either have to be accepted or surgically removed.
