Post-Operative Recovery: When to Resume Exercise After Your Cosmetic Surgery?

Exercise

Currently, more and more people are opting for cosmetic procedures to improve their physical appearance. In this context, the consultation and post-operative recovery process plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal results and a satisfactory experience for patients at My Cosmetic Surgery.

The Foundation of Success: Consultation and Essential Care

From the first contact, our clinic’s patients show great interest in post-operative recovery. It is during the evaluation consultation with our plastic surgeons that essential details are discussed in depth. Here, we explain the preventive measures and necessary post-operative care, ensuring the patient is fully informed and comfortable with their process.

The Crucial Rest Period (First 2 Weeks)

The post-operative recovery phase is vital. To ensure optimal recovery, patients are strongly advised to follow the specialist’s instructions and maintain an adequate rest period. Trying to return to a daily routine too soon could complicate recovery and prolong the time needed to heal completely.

  • First Two Weeks: It is essential to avoid excessive physical exertion. Patients must focus on resting and allowing their body to recover.

Starting Gentle Activity (After 2 Weeks)

After the initial rest period, the body is ready for gradual reactivation.

  • Recommended Activities: You can begin with short walks and low-impact activities such as walking or using a stationary bike.
  • Recovery Exercises: Our specialists also recommend gentle stretching and muscle toning exercises, as they help accelerate cosmetic surgery recovery, reduce inflammation, and strengthen muscles.
  • Supervision: It is crucial to follow these post-operative exercise routines progressively and under the direct supervision of the specialist.

When to Return to Regular Exercise (Approximately 6 Weeks)

Approximately six weeks after the surgery, patients usually receive clearance to gradually reintegrate into regular physical activity.

It is important to note that this process must be:

  • Gradual: The reintroduction of high-intensity exercise must be slow.
  • Personalized: Adapted to individual capabilities and the type of procedure (e.g., liposuction, abdominoplasty, or breast implants).

The intensity and type of recommended exercise after surgery will be determined by the treating physician, who will evaluate your physical condition and healing progress.

Highest Priority: Follow Your Surgeon’s Instructions

It is crucial that patients follow the post-operative instructions to the letter to ensure a successful and complication-free recovery. Although we provide general estimates for rest time after surgery for each procedure, it is fundamental to understand that recovery may vary based on the individual characteristics of each patient.

At My Cosmetic Surgery, we are committed to providing not only high-quality aesthetic procedures, but also meticulous and personalized post-operative care. Our goal is to ensure that every patient experiences a safe and effective recovery, achieving the desired aesthetic results with the least possible risk.
