Heavy Lifting After Liposuction?

January 28, 2016
Asked By:HasanDoll2B in Ohio, IL

My husband had traditional (i.e. Not laser) liposuction on his abdomen, flanks and back 3 weeks ago. His job requires him to lift very heavy objects (up to 300 lbs) with a partner about 4-5 times per day. The rest of his duties are fairly light. How long should he refrain from this very heavy lifting? What are the risks of lifting heavy too soon?
