2 weeks post-op BBL: Alcohol consumption and working out. (photos)

Question

5/2/17,BBl. For starters,I was wondering if I would be able to walk on the treadmill and or use the dumbbell weights standing up? I am also wondering if I am in the clear to consume beer or would it hinder my results?

It is always best to ask these questions of your chosen surgeon as recommendations may be different. Alcohol should not be consumed until pain meds are stopped.   I do not recommend high intensity exercise for 6 weeks after surgery.  Walking on a treadmill for short periods and using light dumbbells standing up should not pose a problem.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. If you’re feeling up for it, you should be in fine shape to start getting back into your exercise routine at 2-weeks post-surgery. Take it slow and check in with your surgeon if you have any questions. You should be safe to consume alcohol when any medications you’re taking have worn off. At this stage, if you have no other complications or concerns, it’s unlikely that drinking a beer will affect your results. Good luck!

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question and provided information as well. I recommend you to keep in touch with your plastic surgeon because all doctors have their own instructions. Having said that, the time recommended to start exercises it's usually 8 weeks after surgery, starting with light cardio. And about the alcohol, 1 week after the meds are finished.Hope this could help and good luck :)
