When can I start exercising after Müllerectomy for Ptosis?

Question

On my post op appointment, my surgeon said I was doing very well. Minimal bruising and swelling. I’m on my 7th day, sutures melting, bruising and swelling nearly all gone, and having good results. Im 31, healthy and active in which helped the recovery. I’m a very active person and I need a second opinion on when I can start working out as fitness saved my life. When I had sinus surgery, I was able to work out in 10 days. Thank you!

Your surgeon knows you best and has the best ida of exactly how well your wounds are healing. They are the best judge of your return to exercise. I understand your desire to maintain your overall health, but you do not want to jeopardize your outcome for this. In my practice, I allow my surgical patients to resume light aerobic exercise such as walking, treadmill at a low rate or a stationary bike at one week. I do not allow more vigorous exercise, weight training, heavy aerobics or contact sports for 3-4 four weeks post op, depending on the patient and their recovery
