There is good fat and bad fat, as many people are aware. You can first ask a sports orthopaedic surgeon for suggestions on the kind of workouts you can do. This doesn’t mean that you can’t regain excess intra-abdominal fat (or visceral) tissue. Visceral fat, which is located around your abdominal organs, is especially dangerous. What can you do? Yes! To counteract this effect, you can do some exercise.

Aerobic Activity

In the first two days after surgery, light aerobic exercise (mainly walking), is advised. It is important to listen to your body and not push yourself beyond what you feel comfortable with while you heal. Slowly and with a lower intensity than usual, you will be able to return to your exercise routine. Once you reach the 6-week mark, you can start to resume more intense activities like running or aerobics.

Light Physical Activity

Light activity can include simple walking and general household chores. To avoid blot clots, you must maintain this activity level for the first 1-2 days following surgery. During the initial phase of recovery, doctors recommend that you exercise at 25% of your usual effort. To maximize results, doctors suggest that patients begin or resume an exercise program within 2-3 weeks of liposuction. However, light activity can be resumed within 1-2 days.

Resistance Exercises

You can resume resistance exercises as soon as possible after surgery if they do not affect the surgical area. Resistance exercises should be gradually increased and taken with care. If you experience pain, discomfort, or drainage from resistance exercise, it is important to seek medical attention.

After 6 weeks, when incisions have healed and bruises have started to disappear, resistance exercise can be resumed if the area is still able to tolerate it.
