How Soon Can I Work out Post Fat Grafting?

October 7, 2013
Asked By:Amy1976 in Tustin, CA

I had lipo on inner thighs last year, the physician took way too much fat from the center of my thighs and left a hole there, it was obvious and made my leg look deformed. I had revision 15 days ago and the new surgeon removed some additional fat from the other and added some fat to the hole. Swelling has gone down quite a bit but is looking great, I am afraid of working out or doing anything, he said 4 wks. Can anyone tell me how long before the fat actually grabs hold or dies?
