Hi! When can i start heavy cardio training and heavy lifting in the gym after a BBL? Is 9 weeks okey to wait?
Answer: Exercise after BBL Each doctor has his specific recommendations. Nonetheless, it is safe to surmise that at nine weeks the fat grafts have already formed their blood supply and the extracellular matrix (it holds them together) has reached its full strength. Good luck and best wishes.

Answer: Going to gym 9 weeks post BBL As a bodybuilder, I understand the desire to return to the gym. I usually recommend 4 - 6 weeks so that healing should be far enough along to reduce the incidence of complications. You have waited 9 weeks; you should be fine.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Exercises after BBL Dear ingela,most surgeons recommend restriction of vigorous activities for 4-6 weeks after surgery so you should be able to start with exercises. However, every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Working out after BBL Thanks for your question. At nine weeks post-op, it is ok to start working out. Go ahead and start slowly, work out safely and try to work out with a trainer, so you can ease back into working out safely. Do more weight training and less cardio so you don't loose too much fat.

Answer: Exercise after BBL Thanks for your question about BBL recovery. You should be fine to resume full exercise by 9 weeks. In my practice I typically have patients resume moderate exercise by 4 weeks and resume full exercise without restriction at 6 weeks.Best Wishes
