I think that you need to talk to your surgeon to determine when it is best to go back to the gym. Good luck.
I usually tell my patients they can start gentle exercise and stretching at about 3 weeks post-op, and then advance slowly as tolerated. In your case, though, you'll need to ask your plastic surgeon what his or her recommendations are concerning this. You don't want to negatively impact the results of your surgery by doing something too soon, or too extensive, or both.I hope that this helps and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of #RealSelf500
I think you would benefit from liposuction of the buttocks but be sure to get it done under tumescent local by your board certified derm surgeon for best results.
While you have a normal crease on one side, the other side a benefit from an excision of the extra crease. The trade-off is a well hidden scar which usually fades to white over time.
Thank you for your excellent question. Compression garments after liposuction are most useful at limiting the amount of swelling present after surgery. They will not materially affect the surgical results obtained in the operating room and any marks and dents will be temporary. Hope this helps.
At your height an weight and a BMI of approximately 35- you are considered obese. I would not encourage or recommend any surgery without a commitment to improve and achieve a more healthy lifestyle.
For smaller areas and lower volumes of fat removal, local anesthesia may be used. However, for larger volumes of fat removal or more invasive procedures, general anesthesia (being “put to sleep”) is preferred.
The implant can be removed or damaged with liposuction if its a hi definition procedure. I suggest telling your surgeon where it is placed. Best, Dr. Emer.
