I do 2 SoulCycle classes + a kettlebells weight class a week. I also run about 5k once, maybe twice a week. I love my weekly classes and don't want to miss out for long. How long will I be off my exercise? (I'm 45, 5'5", 155lbs and 26BMI. I want to get smartlipo on inner thighs and saddlebags. They just won't budge!)
Answer: Smartlipo Thank you for your question. One of the benefits of smart lipo is a quick recovery. You should be able to resume normal activity within 2 to 3 weeks. Check with your surgeon for his or her guidelines. Best of luck!

Answer: Exercise after SmartLipo I generally ask my patients to wait 2 weeks prior to returning to exercise after SmartLipo. While recovery is relatively fast for this procedure, a lot depends on the amount of fat removed and the area treated. Returning to strenuous exercise early can increase swelling and slow your recovery.

Answer: Liposuction In the evidence based medicine article in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery it was noted that many studies showed that there is no benefit to Smart lipo and it is usually noted among plastic surgeons that it is mainly a marketing tool. It would add to cost of procedure and more risks such as burns. The laser lipo machines has evolved over the years to have more energy but frankly it wont make a difference in results compared to the Gold Standard tumescent liposuction.

Answer: Liposuction Recovery For the most part, recovery from liposuction is easily manageable. Since clothing can conceal areas that have been sculpted, most patients are back at work after just a couple of days. You will just need to wear a tight-fitting elastic compression garment during your first week to help the skin adhere. At a week to 10 days, you can remove the garment to shower, though you'll likely have to wear it for an additional week. Lipo is great for instant-gratification seekers, but don't fret if you still see imperfections in your shape several weeks later. It can take 4 months, even a year, to get an accurate picture of how the body will look once the swelling subsides and everything settles into place. Lipo patients who started out especially overweight will have to bide their time before realizing their dream results, because it takes several weeks for skin to redrape over the new area and for tissue to heal completely.

Answer: SmartLipo Recovery Thank you for your question. One of the greatest benefits of SmartLipo is its short recovery period versus traditional liposuction. SmartLipo helps shorten liposuction recovery times with most patients taking only a day off from work with minimal recovery time. I generally recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for at least 1 week. Each patient is different depending the area treated, the amount of fat removed, your genetic tendencies, skin type and natural healing abilities. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
