When can I start exercising?

Usually, the patient can exercise again the following month of the surgery when the first phase reducing inflammation has been completed. You shall start very gentle, ideally with cardiovascular exercises during 15 to 20 minutes the first days and then increase intensity and time the following days.

There are some additional restrictions:

  • In breast augmentation surgery (if implants are retromuscular) you should not exercise as it can compromise your bust, arms or back until three months from the surgery.
  • In patients with lipectomy or mini-lipectomy you should not perform abs until you have completed three months of the surgery.
