9 days post tumescent liposuction on my banana roll, saddlebags, and the sides of my waist. When can I start working out?

Question

I also had some fat graphs to my labia majora. My DR told me I can start weight training in a couple days but I’m still pretty swollen. (I had 330 CC’s removed) . But can I weight train my upper body and arms safely as of now?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your procedure. I will suggest discussing any post op instructions directly with your surgeon. Every surgeon has a different post op protocol.

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

This is something you should discuss with your surgeon who knows you best. For my patients, I want them to resume light walking as soon as possible, however I want them to avoid all strenuous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks as it can trigger fluid retention in the treated areas. Good luck.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol regarding exercise after liposuction. After hi definition liposuction, I recommend waiting 3-4 weeks before beginning to exercise and to stop if there is any discomfort. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. Best, Dr. Emer

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You should be able to do weight training with your arms and back now. You have restrictions on lifting weights in areas not treated.
