Postoperative Recovery: Best Time to Resume Exercise After Surgery

Currently, thousands of people undergo cosmetic procedures with the aim of achieving a more youthful and attractive appearance. From their initial contact with My Cosmetic Surgery, patients inquire about every aspect of the procedure they wish to undergo. However, it is during the evaluation consultation with the specialist where they will be informed about the measures to be taken before, during, and after their procedure, addressing all their concerns.

Rest and relaxation are crucial for a proper recovery after cosmetic surgery. Specialists recommend that patients refrain from trying to resume their normal routine too soon, as it could lead to complications and delay the healing process.

Typically, it takes about two weeks before patients can begin short walks. After this period, they can engage in activities like walking or using a stationary bike. Stretching and toning exercises are highly recommended as they help speed up recovery, reduce swelling, and tone muscles. However, these should be done gradually and safely, strictly following the specialist’s recommendations.

Around six weeks post-surgery, patients can usually start engaging in sports activities. It’s important to note that this reintegration should be gradual to allow the body to adjust to its previous activity level, especially after undergoing surgery. Ultimately, it’s the doctor who will determine when exercise can be resumed, as well as its type and intensity.

As long as patients strictly adhere to the doctor’s postoperative instructions, there should be no complications and recovery should be successful. Although specialists typically provide recovery timelines following each cosmetic surgery, patients should understand that recovery times vary for each procedure and individual.

In summary, at My Cosmetic Surgery, we are committed not only to providing high-quality aesthetic procedures but also meticulous and personalized postoperative care. Our goal is to ensure that each patient experiences a safe and effective recovery, achieving their desired aesthetic results with minimal risk.
