Hi. I'm about 10 days post op breast lift and Lipo. Is it ok just to do light cardio like walking on the treadmill. I had some Lipo done on my legs swelling is present.
Answer: Worsening you already existing swelling It is not okay to do cardio 10 days after liposuction. It will mobilize nothing but it will surely increase the swelling and put you at risk for bleeding and hematoma formation. Typically it is best to wait 4 weeks after liposuction before starting cardio. You certainly will not gain anything by exercising earlier, but you will increase your risks. The restrictions on your lift and your liposuction are the same since the biology of wound healing is the same in both places. If you have swelling already you are most definitely to make it worse by walking on the treadmill.

Answer: #liposuction I highly encourage exercise after liposuction. I tell all my patients to start light cardio even if its 20-mins a day as soon as possible. I think its safe to say that the post-procedure care largely depends upon the surgeon and their surgical techniques. best would be to consult with your doctor. if they say you have to wait then you must wait until its recommended by your doctor

Answer: Exercise after lipo I normally recommend waiting a week or two after surgery to start light activity, but check with your operating surgeon first. Everyone is different so the important thing is to listen to your body, if your body starts hurting, stop the activity and rest. Do not push your body too hard because you could lengthen your recovery time or put yourself at risk for other side effects.

Answer: Activity I encourage my liposuction patients to walk after surgery and do activities that do not cause or increase pain. Movement will help mobilize the swelling. However, do check with your surgeon since you also had a lift.
