but I would like to resume to my work out routine!
Answer: Returning to exercise after lip lift Great question! There are some general guidelines, but overall, it depends on what surgical technique was used by your surgeon. Overall, I usually recommend 3 weeks before starting activity and by a month you can get back to your regular routine. Increasing your heart rate and blood pressure via exercise will increase your swelling and may temporarily increase the redness along the incision, so consult with your doc for a more detailed guide plan. Hope some of this helps!

Answer: Normally 4 weeks for my patients Thanks for your question. I normally say that strenuous exercise can be resumed from 4- 6 weeks from the surgery. After two weeks you can start gentle low impact light exercise but this can slowly be increased form 2- 4 weeks such that by 4 weeks you are getting back to your presurgery workout regimen. You can start massaging the scar at this time also BW

Answer: Exercise after lip lift Thanks for your question. Each surgeon has different preferences. In general, 2 weeks is the minimum before slowly returning to normal physical activities like exercising. You will most likely get different answers on this forum. The most important answer is from the surgeon who did your case! Warm regards.

Answer: Lip lift postop exercise Postoperatively, after a lip lift, you can anticipate bruising and swelling that will be noticeable to you and others for about 1 week. After the sutures are removed or dissolve, depending on the type used, there will be redness along the incision line for 4-6 weeks but this can be covered with makeup. Sometimes the upper lip lift is overcorrected with the initial procedure and will slowly assume its final position over weeks to months.
