Hi, I decided not to get lipo on my arms because I heard it's the most complained about area regarding results. I'd like to start working out my arms but I will be recovering from lipo to abdomen, waist, flanks, back, maybe bra strap area, and thighs. How soon after lipo to those areas can I lift light weights with just my arms?

Answer: How soon can I work out after liposuction? I usually let my patients workout after liposuction as soon as they feel well enough to do so. I think a rapid return to exercise is very helpful in mobilizing fluid, prevent blood clots, and increasing the blood flow through areas that have undergone liposuction which contributes to a more rapid recovery. Everyone is different so I would of course check with your physician as to their recovery protocol but for me you can workout as aggressively as you like as soon as you like as long as you continue to wear your faja.

Answer: Most patients return to the gym in 1 week post op liposuction Don't give up on your arms. Liposuction does great for arms but you need to go to a doc who really specializes in the arms and calves which there are only a few of us around. Most patients get back to work in 2 days and back to the gym in 1 week after liposuction. It is usually longer recovery and more painful if you go the cheap route of laser lipo and general anesthesia.
