I just had my BBL (1 week ago) and I am having a hard time not working out. I understand the no strenuous workouts for 4-6 weeks, but could I do back and upper body shortly after? I walk A LOT like my surgeon recommended, but I was wondering if I could do solely upper body (not even enough to break a sweat)?

Answer: Working out after surgery I usually tell my patients to wait at least 6 weeks before exercising, but every surgeon has different post op care instructions consult with your PS.

Answer: AVOID VIGOROUS ACTIVITIES FOR 4-6 WEEKS AFTER BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT. Hello bigreef, I understand your frustration. However, resting is essential for your proper recovery. I typically recommend my patients to abstain completely from lifting heavy objects, children or pets for 4-6 weeks. You should be up and walking the night after surgery, although slowly. It is important to walk to discourage swelling and to prevent blood clots in the legs. As short as one week after the surgery, patients could return to work and their normal daily life. After 2 weeks, they can gradually resume physical activity. Nonetheless, avoid strenuous exercise for four to six weeks, because it can trigger unnecessary fluid retention in the treated areas. As each case is different, consult with your plastic surgeon about your specific needs and concerns. With appreciation, Dr. De La Cruz.
