Returning to Exercise after Liposuction


Following your Long Island liposuction procedure, you will need to give your body time to heal. While strenuous exercise can cause strain on your body during the first  week of recovery, activities such as walks should be resumed within one to two days following your surgery. Walking can reduce swelling, increase blood flow to speed recovery, and help you start on your way to a generally more active lifestyle.

When to Exercise

After the first week of recovery, you may be able to adopt a more aerobic type of exercise such as speed walking and by week three you may even be able to start jogging or taking exercise classes.  However, exercise should only be increased as you can tolerate it.

Long Island liposuction surgeon Dr. Gregory Diehl will work closely with you during your recovery to help you better gauge when it is appropriate to add new and more strenuous forms of exercises.

To maintain your liposuction results, you will need to commit to weekly exercise. Optimal activities are different for every person. You may wish to work with a personal trainer to develop a routine that works best for you.

For more information on maintaining your Long Island liposuction results, please contact Dr. Gregory Diehl today to schedule a consultation.
