I had 360 lipo to my abdomin flanks and back from bra line to lower back. And grafting to butt 24 days ago. My question is when can I start doing exercise? It is very hard to reach the surgeon who did this. Could I start exercising on an elliptical and doing weights on my arms since there was no work done to them?
