I have two kids and I can't afford to be down for too long but I really want lipo before summer begins. Will lipo restrict me from lifting or picking them up ?

Answer: Liposuction and Lifting Kids My suggestion is to avoid heavy lifting for 7-14 days overhead. However, with compresison and the right post operative care, if it is not harming you or hurting when you lift then you will likely have no issues with healing. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Recovery after liposuction After liposuction surgery, I advise the patients to take one week off from work. You would need full time help with your children for that first week. At that point we take out the stitches and the patients may return to work, but may not engage in any strenuous activity. At one month, the patients start low impact cardio. At two months they can engage in more strenuous physical activity. The compression garment is worn for at least 6 weeks.
