When can one resume lite cardio after a lower face lift (done under local anesthesia)
Answer: Cardio After Facelift Thank you for your question. We perform facelift's under local anaesthetic, I would typically suggest after one week you can start light exercise, and gradually each week you can increase until by week 3 you can return to your normal work out. Please do check the protocol of your surgeon however. All The Best

Answer: Exercise after a facelift? I strongly advise that you contact your Plastic Surgeon and abide by his/her guidelines for post-op exercise, however, in my practice, I am comfortable with very light cardio (walking) 2 weeks post procedure.

Answer: Exercise after minilift Hello Sandy, thanks for your question! I always advise my patients to refrain from any exercise/heavy lifting for 1 month after their procedure. Exercise or lifting will increase your heart rate, which then increases blood flow and creates more swelling. This then prolongs the healing process and causes persistent swelling to the affected area. I recommend speaking to your plastic surgeon for his or her post op protocol. Hope this helps!

Answer: Working Out after Minilift What a great question! Please understand that just because something is classified as "mini", it does not mean that it wasn't surgery. Presuming that a "minilift" is a jawline lift (because there is some debate as to what a minilift is...most feel a jowl lift is a minilift), then it's reasonable to assume that you will take it easy for the first week post-operative. For my patients, I advise them not to get their heart rate elevated, or to sweat, during the first 7 days after surgery. During that second week (after day #7), I advise them to start taking long walks (ie 20-25 minutes) outside. After two weeks, I advise them to return to the gym in a "light" fashion. At that time they are advised that they can sweat, do cardio, and perform resistance exercises with light weights. Obviously it is the ultimate call of the operating surgeon, but hopefully you find this input helpful.Best, Doc L
