I only had scar revision on the middle part of the tummy tuck scar, not the full scar & Vaser Lipo on the scar area. My original tt was 1 year ago. I am very swollen & sore. When would it be ok for me to go for a walk as I’m usually very active? Thank you

Answer: Activity after TT Scar Revision + Lipo Thanks for your question. I usually tell my patients to get up and walk around the house at least once the night of surgery and then starting on day 1 postoperative, take a 15-20 minute walk once or twice per day. Each surgeon has his or own specific recommendations, but it is generally believed that the worst thing one can do is to be a couch-potato for days after surgery. That can set you up for complications, such as blood clots, among other things. Blood clots can form in the deep veins of the legs then break loose and travel to different parts of the body, wreaking havoc and even causing death in extreme cases. Immobility is perhaps the biggest risk factor for developing blood clots - so, generally speaking, walking is good. Check with your surgeon's office too, however, as they may have more specific guidelines for you to follow.

Answer: Exercise after Liposuction-Ask Your Doctor & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol regarding exercise after liposuction. After hi definition liposuction, I recommend waiting 3-4 weeks before beginning to exercise and to stop if there is any discomfort. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. Best, Dr. Emer
