Liposuction question: estimated time of recovery before going back to lifting heavy weights (200 lb+) in the gym? skin removal question: same as above
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be Good To Yourself: 6-8 weeks 6-8 weeks But if I could guess what you'll do is try and push it sooner than that.And you might get away with it if you are very very careful and start real real easy, like legs only for a while. The concern is tissue adhesion and avoiding swelling,which slows healing.Too much exercise puts too much strain on the healing blood vessels.Also,any drugs that do that, like smoking or uppers
