How Long After BBL Surgery Can You Begin High Intensity Exercise, Such As Crossfit? Running?

Question

Also how long should you avoid alcohol consumption after surgery? I also have a cigarette occasionally,how long before I can do that?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I do not recommend high intensity exercise for 6 weeks after surgery.  You should definitely not smoke during that period, and alcohol consumption should be limited.  The results will be worth it.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to wait at least 4-6 weeks before resuming their workout routine (cardio, lift, etc.).
Lifting, squats and lunges after a BBL will only help increase muscle bulk and definition and achieve a more projected buttocks.
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

I would have you wait at least a month before high intensity exercise.  You should avoid alcohol while you are on narcotic pain meds, and avoid smoking for at least one month.
