How Long After Chin Liposuction Can I Resume Sports, Such As Bowling and Working Out?

Chin liposuction recovery varies
from patient to patient and depends on a variety of factors.  We generally recommend that patients
take a week off from work following this procedure because of swelling and
bruising.  The majority of patients
feel good in about 24 to 48 hours, but may not feel presentable for at least a
week.  Patients are able to resume
most activities in about one to two weeks, but heavy lifting and strenuous
activities should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks following surgery.

In your case, it would be
reasonable to start bowling in 2 to 3 weeks following chin liposuction.  Aggressive work outs should be delayed
for at least 4 to 6 weeks following this procedure.  If you have questions don’t hesitate to
ask your surgeon.

Generally patients can begin light exercise two weeks after surgery and gradually build up to their full regimen over several weeks. Just give yourself some time to recuperate from surgery.

Vigorous exercise increases heart rate and blood flow. After Liposuction of the Chin or neck or any area, blood vessels are dilated and new blood vessels form to speed healing.

Increasing blood flow and heart rate could lead to bleeding or increased swelling during the first 2 or 3 weeks so I suggest waiting 3 weeks.

If after three weeks the Chin or Neck area that was treated with Liposuction feels flush or tight or swells obviously wait longer.

Be sure to ask your doctor for his/her recommendation
