When will it be safe to go to spin class after liposuction and blepharoplasty?

I suggest asking your physician but all my patients get back to the gym 10-14 days after lipo and eyelid surgery.  I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. I tell my patients to wait 6 weeks after surgery to resume strenuous activities such as exercise. Please follow the instructions of your plastic surgeon. 1.
Begin with a board certified plastic surgeon and visit several offices
2. Seek a surgeon who does at least 100 of these procedures per year
3. Internet discussions do not replace the advice of your physician

I usually allow patients to go back to light aerobics after about 3-4 weeks, but it would be wise to ask/see your surgeon to be sure.

Your plastic surgeon is the one to answer that question as he / she knows exactly what was done and how they expect the areas to heal. I personally restrict the activities you are asking about for 4 weeks.Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

Thanks for your question.  You should check with you surgeon to discuss their particular restrctions.  In my practice, I restrict cardio until after week 4.  Heavy lifting (over 10-15 pounds) is restricted for 6 weeks.  Good luck. .

Please ask your doctor.  We try to go over the post-op care and instructions in detail before surgery. Regarding liposuction, we encourage patients to get back to normal activity as soon as possible. Your body will tell you what's right. If it causes pain, then don't do it. "No pain, no gain" is not the rule for surgical recovery.Most of our liposuction patients are back to normal activity in three to four days. Patients tell me routinely that they were back to full exercise in three weeks. There is clearly a big difference between normal daily activity and doing jumping jacks.For facelift surgery, I ask my patients to limit all strenuous activity for a minimum of two weeks. In your case, you had a blepharoplasty. With that procedure, I tell my patients to be very gentle around the eyes for 10-12 days. After that, there are no restrictions.  Please note that these are my general parameters. Each patient is unique, and you should follow your own doctor's recommendations.I prefer to do my liposuction while my patients are awake, thereby avoiding general anesthesia. It allows me to have my patients move into different positions during the procedure, giving consistently good results. We use no needles, no scalpels and no sutures. The procedure and recovery are easy. Most patients are back to most normal activities in a few days.Have fun at spin class.I hope that helps.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
