I do Pilates twice a week and I try to walk about 10,000 steps per day. What will I have to give break and for how long? Do factors such as stitches or the laser method change that?
Answer: You need to take it easy after any surgery. The reason one needs to take it easy after surgery is to avoid raising one's blood pressure and starting up some bleeding. This is especially a risk during the immediate postop period. It depends on what surgery is done and how likely bleeding is after the surgery.Once the swelling has resolved and the bruising is resolving I would expect that you could return to your exercise program. This should be by a week or so.Of course you should the recommendations of your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Exercise after blepheroplasty Thank you for the question.Trans-conjunctival blepheroplasty is my preference for this exact reason of allowing my patient early return to normal activity and exercise. Of course the patient has to be a good candidate for the procedure in the first place.Nevertheless my patients can start walking the next day but no bending or lifting or running for two weeks. Once most of the swelling is resolved, at two weeks, patients are released to do more strenuous exercise. Each case must be treated individually but the above are general guidelines.Best regardsNagi T Ayoub MD, FACS

Answer: Working out In general, I recommend one week before resuming light exercise (walking outdoors, treadmill, etc.). Anything more intense where you are straining (valsalva maneuver), I recommend waiting at least two weeks following this type of procedure. Hope this helps!

Answer: Recovery from eyelid surgery I tell my patients they may do light walking and normal daily activities right after eyelid surgery. I caution no more than 20lbs of effort and no vigorous exercise for the first 2 weeks. At their 2 week postoperative appointment, if everything looks great, my patients can resume vigorous exercise without any restrictions.
