Heavy training after liposuction and fat transfer to butt? When can I start weight lifting?

Question

When can I start weight training? All the swelling isn't gone but I want to start weight lifting. I mean HEAVY weights (i.e. squatting 205lbs). I had liposuction and fat transfer to butt!

Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

I typically recommend that my patients wait at least 4 weeks after a brazilian butt lift to start this type of exercise. However, you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon to get his/her recommendations based on your specific case.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to wait at least 4-6 weeks before resuming their workout routine (cardio, lift, etc.).
Lifting, squats and lunges after a BBL will only help increase muscle bulk and definition and achieve a more projected buttocks.
If you have any concerns, I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Doctors differ in their suggested waiting period but it is typically around a month before patients begin their regular exercise routines. Ask your treating plastic surgeon what his/her practice is in regards to exercising.

I think that after about 2-3 weeks you should be good to go with weight lifting, etc.. But it is always best to ask your surgeon.

Hello hotchick and thank you for your question.We have different recommendation to each of our patients, but If you do heavy weight you would help your results to look better and firm, by building a strong muscle it would only make it better, but as your surgeon when can you start.
