Resuming Normal Activities

WORK: Follow the plan you and Dr. Zevon have agreed upon. Most of our patients are able to return to work within 4 days after liposuction surgery. By one week, all liposuction patients are back at work if they want to be.

EXERCISE: Avoid vigorous activity, including strenuous sexual activity, and contact sports for at least four weeks. During this time, walking is fine and is recommended, but use common sense. If you have been sedentary for a while after your liposuction surgery, gradually increase the time you spend walking. Dr. Zevon will give you permission to increase your activities according to the progress of your recovery and your overall fitness level. Sports are resumed gradually. A patient's motivation is the most important factor in determining when to return to full activity.

Changing exercise and diet habits is hard for many people. However, now that you have had liposuction you may find new motivation to maintain your new shape. We encourage you to become involved in a regular aerobic exercise program to sustain the changes in body contour. We recommend brisk walking on an inclined treadmill for 30 minutes, at least 3 days a week if possible. Additionally, we recommend maintaining healthy eating habits B eating regular meals of low-fat, high fiber, varied foods. If you like, we can refer you to experts in nutrition and exercise.

EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT: You should wait a minimum of six weeks before exposure to sun and heat or sunbathing because of the possibility of swelling.
